    Ah yeah, it’s so much better now with seniors living under the bridges and scavenging for food in the trash. Also, it’s funny how you ignore the fact that USSR existed under a siege during the entirety of the Cold War right after having been invaded by fascists during the second world war and was not allowed to develop peacefully. Then after USSR fell, the west immediately poured a bunch of money into Poland and the Baltics to prop them up which is where a bit of prosperity some people saw actually came from. Meanwhile, go look at what happened to other republics which weren’t of interest to western propaganda. See how people are doing there now.

    And sure, USSR could have done better in many ways. It was literally the first attempt at building socialism. However, what happened after has demonstrably been a disaster on an unimaginable scale. And now it might even lead to a third world war and a nuclear holocaust.
