that is why the USSR and other communist nations have shortages
they constantly have to borrow from other countries
that are capitalist, mind you
until their inevitable collapse
You mean trade?
Which happens with all nations?
a nation has to be at least self-sustaining
russia during the USSR had tons of resources
the nationalization of those resources led to poor management and a lack of work incentive
as a result the people starved
How did they lack work incentive
they were practically being forced to work on government operated farms
They were still paid
What do you mean forced
explain the bread lines and the high bread prices
1 loaf a day
In the 1930s the kulaks burned a fuckton of their crops
Which caused the shortages
And then there were some in the 1980s which is when there was market reforms
alright
What is their situation
they're a communist nation
how are they doing
They're doing decent
Compared to surrounding countries they have a higher standard of living
they also have technology that was manufactured in the 1960's
their people are also hungry
economically they are going nowhere
Lmao the US has an embargo on them
No shit they can't get anywhere
why would a communist nation need to trade with other countries
how could they use up all their resources and not be self sufficient
Why are you saying communist nation
capitalist countries are doing just fine regarding food
I thought you said you understand socialism/communism
they constantly make more food and the store shelves are overflowed
what do you mean
what did i say
You keep saying "communist nation"
a communist state would be a better term
