Paiktis mean smt different, smt that he called an American menace. Perhaps if Yankees will ever decide to bomb Warsaw, like they bombed Belgrad you will understand what he mean.

If not SU we would be today on a better level of anything.
US influence wasn't destroying the economics, SU was.

How it could be done? Give me a chance. I'd be better than Feliks Edmuntowicz himself

I feel bored already when thinking of reading through 3-4 pages of posts just so that I could write my input on this subject. And that makes sleepy enough not to take part in this discussion...

But one thing to mention... Those who think that they have anything to say on communism, should first read some proper literature, make up their mind on the subject and then discuss. Otherwise we only get some USA flavoured anti-communism bull from the Cold War era.

I don't know why you would like me anyways. Our political beliefs are starkly different and our economic beliefs are complete opposite.

My back is NOT against the wall, I am just defending my opinion.

Don't defend this hopeless system.
your school obviously hires people based on their social, rather than pedagogical skills
the real decline of soviet economy started under khruschev. former ussr states are still running on infrastructure created during stalin.

Look my teacher was just joking around... he always has a joke to say and criticizes everybody including himself jokingly. He is never meant to be offensive.

Stalin did send 20 million people to rot in Gulags.

interesting point. russia will always be worse than its western counterparts. we can disagree about tens of millions, but the perspective is there...they are just as bad by today's standards today as they were by past standards in 1930's

LaRusso, at least they are having economic growth that can be sustained and is not superficial.

You need one more zero there. I am sure it was closer to 200 million

haha, the results of 'fake' growth during stalin can still be seen on dnieprostroi and moscow metro. putin does not have enough money today to repair that infrastructure, let alone build it anew. anyway, a good proportion of the growth was there because the oil prices shot up. we'll see....

Lets see here: Putin has been abled to transform his economy into one that works, and has been abled to make the government transparent. The first time that has ever happened in Russia. Also the proportion of growth was actually from economic diversification. And Russia has been named a free market economy by the US.

Well, one could mention anti-union legislation and such, but what you're asking to do is proving a negative. I'll phrase it this way and throw it back at you: what particular practices of Nazi policy make you believe they were zealous socialists?

What socialist practices? What, just because their organization called itself socialist, you believe it? Does that mean that you believe that Freedom Road Socialist Organization is really about freedom? Is Prairie Fire really about a Prairie Fire? Is Acorn really about an acorn? Does New Labor have anything to do with labor?

The Nazis smashed the unions and replaced them with new Nazi unions, which gave the employers everything they asked for and reported to the government on any disgruntled workers. They handed over huge subsidies to major corporations, including slaves. They conquered huge swathes of terriroties and then handed the resources in those territories over to the corporations. Naziism is a capitalist's wet dream of profitablity.

Even a minor capitalist like Schindler could walk into Aushwitz and demand his workers be released (greased with a bribe). Had IG Farben or GE or Krupps demanded that their slaves be fed and clothed better, it would have happened.
