Why USSR was the best country of all time

[@EyeLean5280]

The USSR industrialized faster than any nation ever before, in only 20 years. The USSR put the first woman into space, long before the USA did. The USSR had great visual artists, such as Rodchenko, great dance troupes, such as the Bolshoi, great composers, such as Shostakovich, and great filmakers such as Tarkovsky.

[@EyeLean5280]

None of this means I'm a fan of the totalitarian state, but facts are facts.

[@EyeLean5280]

sinekonata Sorry, I personally know people who fled Communist Russia. I believe their explanations of how things were. You are a just stranger on the internet.

[@anonymous2964]

just industrialized? In 1917 there were more than 70% iliterate people in russia. Most of them were living in rural areas/villages. They couldn't even read. But after the death of lenin in 1922 they became super power in just 23 years. They urbanized areas and put everyone in flats. It was really impressive, they went to super power position faster than any other country ever. Got to give stalin credit, he was boss.

[@EyeLean5280]

Fast Networks Yes, they accomplished all these amazing things. However, under Stalin they also turned against some of the artists I mentioned. Shostakovitch was put under a lot of pressure, even interrogated by the secret police. And that was the least of the difficulties during Stalin's regime. Things are never simple, brother. Never simple.

Despite the harsh life for workers and liberals during the Stalin Era, the Gulags and the political repression, he was always mentioned how the 60s under Khurshchev was the greatest time of his life. Despite the massive propaganda by the U.S for years and years about the Soviet Union and the "red scare", normal life for people was very peaceful and full of pride. Everything was cheap, people were united, and the Soviets were making the best progress in almost every field of life. But as the years went by, the USSR was becoming more and more shit. It's economy was collapsing, and people were tired of communism. But during USSR prime, there was and has been no country in the world that came close to it in terms of progress, happiness and unity.

CCCP forever. Whatever the bourgeois intelligentsia says the USSR was a truly exceptional political institution and a testament to the success of Marxism, not its failure. It's an agrarian country that successully went from civil war and total collapse to fully industrialized superpower in 25 years. Along the way they took on an invasion by Nazi Germany intended to colonize and Germanize their country, starving or enslaving the local population and delivered the most crushing defeat Germany ever suffered. Anybody who thinks that would have happened under any authority other than the CPSU is kidding themselves. We all see where the fall of communism takes people. A couple countries in the Baltic/Eastern European region get privileged access and prosper despite, or possibly because of anti-democratic governments. Most post-Soviet countries languish in stagnant wastelands with tiny oligarchies claiming giant fortunes at the direct expense of the people that actually built the economy enriching the new kleptocracy.

It wasn't a heaven on earth @ all. Please keep in mind, I'm not the typical American that says that everything about the Soviet Union was entirely bad & often do think that often times the criticisms of the Soviet Union by the West, especially the United States are & were exaggerated. But, please do a little more homework on Google, Wikipedia, or any other reliable source. Overall, my views on the Soviet Union are very mixed. The Soviet Union had many positives like what you've mentioned, improval of women's rights, improved relations between those of different ethnicities, elimination of Religion, high emphasis on science, technology & math, increased literacy rates, improved education system, & they've also invented many things which are still popular/used to this very day like Satellites, space travel, Tetris, etc while the Soviet Union had many negatives like no press freedoms, no free speech, no competition between different companies, authoritarianistic nature, no political freedoms (except under Khrushchev & Gorbachev), no freedom to buy whatever you want, food shortages, & shortages of other things as well. Overall, I've been wondering what it was like to be living in the Soviet Union for the past 1 1/2 years & I've also been doing some research on the Soviet Union & the Eastern Bloc as well as a high school senior from the United States.

[@rurichek1]

I agree about the negative side that you mentioned such as no free press, etc. But I don't think that it is a good excuse to let a great country to fall into pieces and leave its people at the mercy of the fate. I say it because my mom went through hell when the USSR collapsed. War in Azerbaijan, hyperinflation in the Ukraine. These are just few examples of that hell that my mom went through. I asked a lot of Russians about the Soviet Union and they dream that those days would be restored. I mean you can keep a great country afloat, but just introduce democratic reforms. You don't have to break everything and start from scratch. And I don't mean conquering countries that don't want to be in the Soviet Union. Even so, the Soviet Union will never be restored. A lot of Russians understand it. Russia may become great again but it will not be Communist or Soviet again. It will be modern.

The simple truth is that a planned economy doesn't work, there's difficulty maintaining high standards of productivity and setting prices.

The problem with the USSR wasn't political, it was economic.

Fun fact-the USSR economy started to get weakened in 1970,year in which some reforms started to decentralize the economy.It broke under Gorbachaev tho,which adopted a free market-style of economy.Before that,the Soviet Union had a solid economic growth that never stopped (except from 1941-1945,when it was invaded by nazis). The USSR had also a free education system and free wealthcare too,the first in the world.In fact,in the '70,there were much more engineers and doctors in the USSR than in the US,and they had a similar population too.The quality of the products in the USSR was also very high,easily comparable to the western Europe's ones,and sometimes even better.The man made famines are fake,even a lot of western historicians and intellectuals said that.And some of them were man made,but by kulaks,which hid wheat and agricolture products to the governament.The fact that Stalin killed more than 20 milions people is completely fake: first of all those stats are predictions,so they're not accurate.Then,standing to wikipedia,about 2,5 milion people died in gualgs or were killed by repressions.Over 21 milion people were killed by the Wehrmacht during operation Barbarossa,and 12 milions of them were civilians (again,go on wikipedia)And the USSR won the war almost by themselves: in Stalingrad died more Wehrmacht soldiers than in the whole west front.American supplies to the USSR were quite poor,and they were mostly logistic help (such as jeeps) and some food.For the rest,the Soviet Union saw a massive economic growth under Stalin,with the quinquennal plans and the collectivized agricolture.Labour conditions were not bad too: Stalin himself decided to put the numbers of labour hour to 7 each day and 5 for the hardest jobs.There was also one year of maternity for every mother. Then,Engels himself said that the state should stay if it is better for the safety of the prolateriant revolution.And by the way,the USSR was not communist but socialist,which is different. Also,countries in eastern europe are now poor because they are capitalist: for example,a lot of Romanian people preferred Ceausescu to their western governament today,and the people who lived in the former east Berlin continue to vote the german communist parties.Not to mention that Tito's Jugoslavia was a wealthy nation too,same for Hoxha's Albiana.And 60% of the russian people today still think that life was better in the USSR.

Oh,btw,the fact of tanks is fake,the USSR used only T-34 (then becoming T-34/85),KV-1 and KV-2 (replaced by JS-2 tanks) that were actually better than all the americans and english tanks,plus they were easy to produce.Also the majority of airplanes were mostly soviet (even if they bought some english and american airplanes,which were actually better)

Inheriting a poor, feudal and rural country devastated by a great world war and a great civil war, the USSR through a planned economy and the common ownership of the means of production became one of the world's superpowers and the country that won the space and nuclear and conventional arms race against the USA having half of its GDP, it was the country that sent to the space the first satellite, the first rocket, the first man and the first space station... it abolished unemployment and famine, people had free education and healthcare, literacy rate was 99,9%, percentage of people trained in higher education was the highest of the world and life expectancy was (and still is) greater than the US that is a world power since the 19th century, was untouched in both world wars and has the double of GDP... But the difficulties inherited by recovering from WW1 and civil war, the destruction of the rural proprieties by the landowners from the time of czar (kulaks), the invasion in WW2 by all the axis countries (excluding Japan), that killed 26 million people in the USSR (among them 15 million civilians and 3.3 million unarmed prisioners) and destroyed 1720 cities, 70,000 villages, 31,800 factories, 84,000 schools and etc. that caused lack of workforce and the need to spend decades re-building the country... and furthermore by the costs of winning the space and arms race against the west and the costs of funding countries and left-wing groups worldwide, and by the disasters like the siberian pipeline explosion (that destroyed a pipeline that could have made 8 billion $ a year for the USSR) and chernobyl.. made the progress slower, consumed much workforce and resources that could be used in the economical and industrial progress and consumer goods production and thus caused economic difficulties that made republics declare independence in the start of the 90's according to their rights by the soviet constitution of 1977 And the hypocrites say that the USSR fell by communism's fault

[@timmymctimmity9903]

Nei Eduardo De Paula You should get a nobel for this. USSR was a great union, but fell because of economic problems. The only people that can disagree with your thinking is misinformed and not very well educated people. America stands only because they never got bombed by the axis and others. USA is a capitalist warmongering country that has shitty education and health. Ussr wasn't perfect, but it was one of the greatest political unions of all time.

[@bugbeemaine]

The USSR was a mass murdering terror state. Everything it did (its so called achievements) were the result of force and terror. People had no choice but to do what they were told or face prison and labor camps. The people were kept in backwards poverty compared to the capitalist west, so the country could spend most of its money and resources on the military. No freedom of speech or press, so the people could be kept in the dark on how bad off they were compared to the west. There weren't too many people who wanted to move there, but many who wanted to leave. That was not true of the USA.

[@loginmisc123]

Very well said; your statements are worth a Nobel, as TimMCgee said. One political negative in the USSR was killings in Joseph Stalin's times. The Soviets should have had a such that a person could be the Premiere/President... only for a limited period (something the USA has now a day). No family rule... Otherwise the USSR was much better than most countries. Many dissenters argue, rather wrongly that lack of incentives kills efficiency in Communism/Socialism. Actually it's the capitalistic setup that is worse in this context. Compare the wealth that is usually enjoyed by chiefs of reasonably large private enterprises with that of a skilled engineer or a physician. What about share/stock market? Does anything worth, say, a gram of foodgrain or a needle?

[@fegelfly7877]

Nei, I'll give you a piece of advice, don't talk if you don't know. Communism has never EVER worked, and it won't. It ''abolished'' unemployment merely because being unemployed was a criminal offense, it still is here in Belarus. As for free education and healthcare, that is true. The rest is Soviet propaganda.

[@perkele2040]

But he paved the way for his ideological son Gorbachev to be able to. And to say he stopped the US is just crazy.

Especially Khrushchev who just decided to give Crimea from Russia to Ukraine in 1954 which led to big problems with this land nowadays between the two now independent countries. How stupid you should be to do it. During Brezhnev there was an era of stagnation. Also, in USSR people could not leave the country, could not travel. The country decided for you what you should do. Also, there was a deficit of products especially in 1980s. People couldn't buy what they wanted. It was not fun at all. People could not possess their own business, be entrepreneurs.
