I think you are overestimating how powerful the computing systems needed to operate air defense back then were. Some of that shit was pretty analog. Cybernetic systems are all about inputs & outputs,,, more complicated than just needing processing power. Go watch Eyewar 😎🦾⚙️👀🤩🤖!!!

Chile is a later example that was visibly not saved by interest in cybernetics either. US Chicago School economists pushed for an intervention to overthrow Allende, rape and torture as many people as possible, then their moronic laissez faire economics that don't even understand what money are face planted. Chilean right wingers and modern Chicago Boys try to ignore that lol

The thing abt it purely being lack of information transparency between different USSR organs resulting in inefficiencies doesn't strike me as a great historical approach, more trying to fit whatever you're talking about to a conclusion, in this case that bureaucratic obstruction alone led to the USSR being dissolved. The USSR was too good at industrializing.

Again maybe seeing better statistics about agriculture may have hypothetically convinced them they need Maoism.

Trying to boil everything down to a few interpretations of politics within the USSR is really missing the forest for the trees.

Totally down to keep exchanging information about it long term as long as you don't say anything weirdly reactionary and get booted from this instance.

Can't wait for your "N-no." response because you don't actually give a fuck about history, you want to keep inbox notifications at bay. Prove me wrong tho.

You can always cite these examples you know instead of just linking to a Wikipedia article.

You know Wikipedia is highly ideological and has major sourcing issues?

Did you know many of your sources for information about the USSR are literally compromised by NATO intelligence? Simon Sebag Montefiore is in Jeffrey Epstein's contact book.
