alright Holla Forums it's 1989 and you have just become the chairman of the communist party of the soviet union
you're going though a lot of problems economically as well as a lot of angry people because of glasnost
what do you do to fix these problems ?
market socialism
inb4 assmad leftcoms, marxists and leninists
Resign.
Launch all the nukes. All of them.
This.
THIS
And at least half on them on middle east including israel.
Hack Reagan's teleprompter and get the senile old fart to capitulate to the Soviet Union.
Not even a market socialist, but considering how bad things got by 1989, this would be one of the few ways to preserve the USSR.
You can talk about how central planning was slandered until the cows come home, but by the end of the Soviet Union, there was a very clear disconnect between the state, its apparatuses, and the workers. And that's not even going into how the state monopoly allowed quality to slide further and further down the shitter.
Do you happen to be called Deng Xiaoping?
