Yea critics of socialism always harp back to the USSR for this "evidence" of socialism's failures. But how much do they even know about the soviet economy?

A quick search yields some useful information -

By the 1950s, the Soviet Union had, during the preceding few decades, evolved from a mainly agrarian society into a major industrial power.[15] Its transformative capacity—what the US National Security Council described as a "proven ability to carry backward countries speedily through the crisis of modernization and industrialization"—meant communism consistently appealed to the intellectuals of developing countries in Asia.[16] Impressive growth rates during the first three Five-Year Plans (1928–40) are particularly notable given that this period is nearly congruent with the Great Depression.[17]



USSR's implementation of socialism if that's what it was, was far from perfect but it wasn't nearly as bad as critics like to believe.

Greed is getting something for nothing, weall work or worked for what we have except Gory....so he's the greedy one!
Sorry I don't buy into the archaic view that modern jobs, especially idiotic pointless ones that could be done by machines, should be our lifeblood.

If I'm using boomer as a gauge apparently I can say a lot of things and not get banned, particularly racist things.
