Inventing strawmen doesn't help your position. I'm 27.
Oh good I love annoying 27 year-olds
Also re: strawmanning each other for fun & educational purposes. I'm not mindlessly defending the USSR, far from it.
I just don't see the further networking of communication centers in the USSR as being a solution to the problems with their planning.
They were aware of how they were straining the agricultural base. Hard to ignore food imports etc. Does that clarify my argument? But it would be flat out wrong to say the USSR didn't push the boundaries of agricultural development, communal gardening, scientific achievements like growing fruit in Siberia for the lulz.
Again don't take the pings as pressure, but claiming USSR industry is shamed by technology transfers is bizarre. This strikes me as similar to the arguments made to discredit Chinese industrialization lately, just to get even higher on my high horse.
The USSR was not able to withstand financial pressure from abroad. It was able to withstand military pressure. Some soviet military infrastructure is still whipping ass.
We'll talk about the world buying Russian oil & all the pressure that entails in 6-8 hours 😴🥱💤
