Funny thing is that since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The calorie consumption and life expentancy decreased

Also the diversion of the rivers in uzbek and kzhazk were basically the things that fed the whole country

In Russia

China is more of a MegaCorporation then an actual country

Counterpoint: Chile adopted socialism which pivoted to communism

Land was taken by the government and equally shared among all citizens

Profits must be fed

Counter point polnpot was a maoist

Above all else

Ofc quality of life decreased in Russia. Russia stopped draining all of its neighbors...

They had a huge crisis of food, and many people died and nearly started a civil war, at which point there was a military coup,

Whats wrong with draining your neighbors?

Plus Russia refuses to bend the knee to the thalassocracy and thus is still largely separate from the world market

you know

i think i figured out part of the issue

I mean Russia is nice

Plus they are far from trade nodes which kida makes them structurally poor in this system anyway

as soon as communists were removed from power and bad actors disappeared, the economy began turning around fast, and is now the most advanced economy in south america.

so yeah, Russia poor

the threat of nukes prevents other countries from stepping in when the country goes to shit

Wdym draining your neighbours?

aka

even though north korea could normally be swept over by americans

and the difficulties in chile ONLY rise when a socialist-leaning president is elected.

or venezuela

or other countries

Keep consuming pornography.

china and russia wont approve of our grab for power

The SU imported coal from Silesia and cotton from Uzbekistan. Basically free of charge.

North Korea is more likely a proxi state to China

Coal and Cotton have little affect from quality of life, especially today.

the effects of socialism/communism in a real country

NK is a buffer between Beijng and the US forces in South Korea

@AydeMori☠ Taht is simply a stupid statement
