Yes, and it's clear now that how ever things shaked out, the Soviet Union had a greater sense of principles and ideals for their culture than corporate capitalist America

>>257123247The redpill is that the West is still the most livable regardless of all the world's shit being dumped on it from the start. South Africa is more livable than Russia.

From my mother who grew up in 70s-90s Moscow, essentially the NYC of the USSR>shitty 2-3 bedroom apartments divided between multiple families>stupidly long lines at the store, no variety of products>random goods would often literally just disappear off the shelves for months, for no reason>heat occasionally went out in the winter, again for no reason>nobody except millionaires could afford a car, even shitty Lada>little to no content on the TV/radio, if you were lucky enough to own one>western movies and music were occasionally smuggled in, but this was in relatively cosmopolitan Moscow>rampant alcoholism on par with late 1800s AmericaAgain, keep in mind this was the biggest and richest city in the USSR and they could barely maintain a standard of living in the 70s similar to post ww2 America, and outside of a handful such cities, 99% of the rest of it was like Borat type villages. USSR was also producing most of the world's petroleum at the time and had other massive quantities of resources. And the 1970s were the USSR's most prosperous years before it started to go downhill.So yes, it was technically "livable", but not a good place to live in even by 70s standards and certainly not by today's.

It's difficult for comparison because there is completely different value distribution system. For example: all my relatives got flats for good exactly in the 70's but formally the apartments weren't in their private property. They paid rent and services but it was tiny part of their wages. Water and gas meters never existed in the USSR.

>>257117959Depends on how you define livable. the USSR was pretty nice in those years, freshly built and enthousiatic... but time has proven that you can't build a society on enthusiasm alone. The system decayed rapidly in the 80s.That being said, my family lived there in the 20s and 80s and it was objectively a nice place.. well if you were in one of the cool cities. No unemployement, no crime, plenty of leisure time.. But you can't simply cherry pick a decade, it's unrepresentative of the decades of terror prio and the decades of economic and social ruin that followed.

>>257132050It just proves that only economically illiterate morons idolize the system when the so called "golden age" of communism was so brief and unsustainable. My country was a shitshow too but in the 70s there was a period of comparative prosperity... built off loans taken from rich Western countries. It's no surprise that the 80s was a time of crisis with only vinegar in the stores. Communism would've fallen even if there were no active efforts to end it.

>>257134057What are the other reasons?

>>257134057That’s the Manchurian in your pic. He trained the candidate.

Yes, absolutely. I grew up in a completely white neighborhood and ran around freely as a kid even in the late 80s. It wasn't glamorous but it was safe and wholesome.

Then in the 80’s we had Michael Jackson and Rocky and they had endless rows of cabbage fields and alcoholics drinking potato alcoholm.youtube.com/watch?v=dsUXAEzaC3Q

>>257132643After being completely in rubble from 2ww it took some time to rebuild into prosperity - just to be destroyed with usury. No economy ever will sustain 18% usury from loans it has - capitalist Mexico, etc got screwed the same way in the same time, and whole world had debt problems. It wasn't our economy, they lie to society about the reasons we had troubles.

>>257118820Capitalism self-corrects. Communism will fail sooner rather than later (I still wonder how the USSR manage to last for 74 years tho).

>>257133556False. They built public transport first. It was a choice.

>>257134088If you had money. And the new one was almost free. If i told you right now you will get a free new car, just wait 3 years, you would jump out of joy.

>>257117013Ya probably anytime after the cultural revolution of the late 60s took hold in the west the kikes abandoned communism and put all there eggs in the capitalist west. Result being formerly commie (or even commie holdout) countries are more homogeneous and less socially degenerate/gay then western nations. Stil poor asf though but id take it.

>>257135760As I said, Russia was never a pleasant place to live in. There's a reason a revolution was able to happen there in the first place. The USSR had pathetic output for a country its size and meat was a luxury eaten once a week at best, once a month at worst. Yeah, people didn't starve post WW2 times but it's a meager existence.
