? The Big Tank began in the 80s, a result of Brezhnevite rot dating from the late 50s and Stalin shooting the country through the heart in the 30s and 40s. The nonsense public price system was finally incorporating the black market people used to actually get their goods and lo and behold savings denoted in the nonsense price system were destroyed.Orostan wrote:It may seem that markets preform better than socialism if a country is economically isolated under socialism, and not under a market system. The USSR took the most damage out of any nation from WW2, and took an enormous amount of damage as well from the Russian Civil War. When it was recovering to both, it was economically isolated from the West and other countries. The USSR recovered faster under socialism than it would have under capitalism. It also did not get any aid for rebuilding.
You cannot have exploitation theory and the embargo excuse at the same time. Either exchange is good or it is bad, decide.

I would prefer a capitalist computer-run economy using automated labor. This would allow for people to do whatever the fuck they want.

I'd be okay with this if it had a fairly generous guaranteed minimum income (since a conventional welfare state would be too administratively expensive given the comparative shortage of jobs in a radically automated economy).
Follow-up question - would this fully automated capitalism be cosmically expansionist and/or notably homosexual?

There is no work, my friend. The machines will take care of everything.

It would be interdimensional and quite heteronormative.
Fully automated luxury straight interdimensional capitalism.

It was a small economy already, so small damages do great things proportionally. The facts are out there: The GDPpc fell 19.1% following Russo-Japanese War against 17.6% following World War II.

Interesting thing, since the Roman Empire suffered the collapse while it existed, while USSR passed the harsh times to the newly-formed Russia.Orostan wrote:4- The Soviet economy only began failing instead of stagnating after Gorby's market reforms. The USSR had its economic problems, but to blame the faliures of a market system on socialism is just incorrect.
