The education system was never that great in the soviet union, it was always brainwashing people.

yes, unlike the US , of course. Education is just a fancy word for brainwashing , and vice versa.

I just like the text of the letter. How can you not get enthralled by quotes like "let's choke and strangle those blood-sucking kulaks"?
I also like to go back to the begining of an enterprise to judge its worth and not start at some preselected midpoint in order to arrive at a rigged conclusion.

In other news, USSR was cool for keeping the world balance against the american menace.
A balance of terror is far better than the imblalance (-insanity) of terror we live now.
not to mention that the vultures are now trying to take apart everything Europe has built thanks to the USSR "spectre".
There is no counter force now to make them crap their pants.

Maybe if you add them all up? I donīt know, I havenīt found reliable figures for this. Some dictators that the US has supported is Suharto (Indonesia), The Shah of Iran, The talibans, Saddam Hussein, Pinochet, Somoza (Nicaragua), Batista (Cuba), etc. etc...

not trolling though.
elaboration.
now the US can go bomb whoever it pleases for whatever crap reason it puts forth.
could it do that when the USSR was still around? no.
imbalance of terror.
it still tries to top governments (like in venezuela) too.
was the social welfare system of Europe built because the greedy evil blood sucking worker killer capitalists were afraid that the people would riot against their exploitation and join the SU? yes
will the capitalists now try to suck the people dry again? yes
in the US they are working 12 hours a day for sh!t pay and they say thank you on top of that. completely brainwashed.
this might happen in Europe too since there is not the USSR counterforce.
so no trolling, perspective.

to put a favorite Andreas Papandreou quote here:
The numbers prosper, the people do not. (what fooking good is GDP when people have no health care, there are people homeless etc etc etc).
so let me say again: EU! (the socialist way)

Suharto was corrupt and the US stopped supporting him after a while like Noriega. The Shah of Iran was not that bad but his plans were not on track. The talibans no... the US supported the mujahedins. The taliban were an extremist government the US never supported. Sure some of the taliban is some mujahedin commanders but Pashtun. The US mostly supported Uzbeks and Tajiks during the Soviet Occupation whom resisted. Pinochet did well to the chilean economy and made it grow and so did Somoza and Batitista to their economies. Under Somoza the economy was actually growing significantly, the same with Batitista with his country.

Russia is just as poor now as it has always been. By western standards, the government is still repressive. However, nowadays the government could never get away with killing tens of millions of its own citizens. It's a good thing the soviet empire is gone. It won't be back.
BTW: Lenin's surrender in the first world war forced germany to occupy the ukraine. This may have caused its final offensive in the west to fail.

No they can't. It infringes on the law of supply and demand therefore is illogical. Therefore it causes severe lack of supply and could cause massive shortages.
You're a doctriner. Everything can be done!
"In other news, USSR was cool for keeping the world balance against the american menace."
SU was even worse than US in that matter.
Don't dare to say to anyone from eastern Europe that
"SU was cool" in that matter.
"that's what brainwas... I mean education is for. "
Yes! But there are too many people needed here and they need to have specific qualifications... Communists aren't that numberous and nor everyone of them can be a teacher.
And even if it could be done, You'd have to separate the children from their capitalistic parents' influence.

You remind me of the PSOE. Everything can be done! 30% unemployment can be done too! That was in Spain pal. The Socialists literally ****ed up my country and it had to be fixed by the Conservative Popular Party. Now after the PP is done my people have jobs... and a single digit unemployment rate!

Wether the dictator turned corrupt after a while or did marvels for the economy isnīt the question here. The US supported dictators, plain and simple!
And they did support the mujahedins that later were to emerge as the talibans... Fact of the matter is that the US supported the talibans because they wanted someone under their heel that provided a stable enough government to allow its business interests to go through with the proposed oil and gas route through Afghanistan. As late as 1996 the US administration had welcomed Talibans control over Kabul with Acting State Department Spokesman Glyn Davies words: "There is nothing objectionable about the version of Islamic law, the Taliban has imposed in the areas controlled by it."

Well the soviets wanted a clear water port in Pakistan and didn't get it? That is why they invaded Afghanistan.
And another thing is that oil and gas route would of helped Afghanistan.

Then the Taliban took an extreme turn in 1998 and the US stopped supporting it.

Yes, that sounds like the reason the Taliban didn't want the pipeline.

Now if this pipeline gets built... a lot of jobs can be created. Ecuador for example is going to create 50,000 jobs with a new pipeline project. Just imagine what that can be like for Afghanistan. A new fresh, good start. But pipelines don't get built overnight... it takes time.

No it didn't. It didn't even say anything about it. That is the problem... the coup didn't have US support and backfired because there was no help. Chavez will be thrown out anyways in a couple of months and this time probably a bullet in the head as his popularity falls below 20%.

The united states would never have been forced to put up with dictatorial regimes if not for fear they would join the soviets...
And don't kid yourself. The soviet system was murderous and destructive. Nothing can justify the millions killed by the soviet government.

Regarding the US-Taliban relations read "Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia"

It is getting late Kamrat, but some people remain ignorant and are ignorant of what the world is really about. They call themselves communists.
