Why was life in the ussr so good?

Even Moscow and Leningrad had rationing in the 80s.

>By the time of the Soviet Union's collapse at the end of 1991, nearly every kind of food was rationed. Non-rationed foods and non-food consumer goods had virtually disappeared from state owned stores. While the gap was partially filled by non-state stores which started to appear in the mid-1980s, the prices in non-state stores were often five to ten times higher than in state stores and were often out of reach for the general population.

that's what nigs do
are you projecting?

Yes, the nearing the collapse and the collapse of the Union itself were terrible times, who would've thought.

it had been collapsing for a long time. 1991 was just the tipping point

By that I meant western products in general, they were hard to get.
Now it's hard to make an equivalent example for the modern world, as we live in a global economy, but let's say something never seen before, like a new iPhone or something were given out, I bet people would go out and wait in lines to get them.

>that's what nigs do
lmao wasn't there bucket handouts and everyone went mad over them. Ilmaisia ämpäreitä.

I know, hence the "nearing the collapse" part of the sentence.

Life prior to the nearing of the collapse & the collapse of the union was great.
Safe and stable.

At least where I lived. I guess the story in Estonia is different, which is probably why they're raving about being victims of gommunism

baltic countries didnt fare really well after leaving the ussr, and they werent really cared about when they were in the ussr either.

>tf
Didn't you fought a war to avoid to be part of the ussr?

No, I wasn't alive back then.

So you used to live in the ussr back in the 1970s or 80s?

>Safe and stable.
Thats what happens when you get life in gulag for expressing a different opinion or being discontent.

kek

>expressing a different opinion or being discontent.
both were allowed to do
as long as you didn't try to organize a protest or something like that and you wouldn't be sent to the gulag for doing that. This isn't Stalin-era.

sad for some artists though, they couldn't passionately live their lives, as they had to work or else they'd be sent to prison

yes

Not before the 80s or ''nearing the collapse'' as you said they weren't.

Bread lines are a meme

Your country is a meme.

Nigga you fucking dumb

You shouldn't even exist, your cunt is a temporary misrake of history.

you have to go back pasha

We're going to exist longer than you, Sven.

back where?

at least you werent ruled by a 112cm manlet back then

>Better than Russia today
This is going in my cringe compilation

so that's why the 2nd most popular party in russia is the communist party

back to the place where your asiatic vermin came from

Zoomers haven't experienced the hardships and support all the wrong things

my country only exists in 1 place now.... my heart

Socialism. Without it Russia today would be on the level of India or Egypt

Ask Ukraine how good it was
They are extremely butthurt for some reason

And dropping by several million voters each election.

your genetic trash no matter how much you larp

What

Why would his height matter at all?
Are Burgers really that superficial?
They're pretty close with the rest. And they're hardly anything like the commies of old, they're more socialist. Basically just boomers voting for them.

>India
Had socialism
>Egypt
Tried to play both sides

Socialism discourages work and innovation. You would be richer without it.

What the hell are you doing here, user?

Imagine unironically being an inbred nazi fingol who believes in racial supremacy.
You're a living punchline m8.

Why? Because you're a lazy zoomer?

Countries with the highhest quality of life today are also the richest.

>I myself don't work because of capitalism
You don't work because you are a lazy shit

Because we live in a global capitalistic world now.
This didn't use to be the case. Some countries were better off with average income than the USSR, but had worse standards of living.

I learn English here.

why would I wagecuck? I just have my parents' money which they stole in the 90s invested. Honestly that's not worse than being an office drone or doing some other bullshit job

What are you on about retard

>I just have my parents' money which they stole in the 90s invested.
So your living depends on capitalism and you yearn for socialism. You're retarded.

Some countries back when the union existed had a larger gdp per capita than the USSR, but life was worse there in general.

Why are the people defending communism living in first world countries? Really makes you think

There's something called morals

>Countries with the highhest quality of life today are also the richest.

Belarus has a lower GDP per capita than Montenegro, yet Belarus has higher standards of living.

Since when do commies have morals?

meant for

Yes what would a leech know about those?

It was great to stand in line for toilet paper, meat, fruits and vegetables. Sometimes my family spent weeks on buckwheat porridge, bread and water. And it is in the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, imagine what fucked up it was going on in the province. Shit medicine when I had an ulcer, fucking """doctor""" burned a hole in my stomach, so I almost died. Inability to go abroad, it is impossible to do business. Yes, it was a great country, so great that LITERALLY no one came out to defend it. Even fucking poor Ukraine, which, according to the communists, is hundreds of times worse than the Soviet Union, is protected by people sacrificing their lives.

Belarus has a lower HDI.

Apparently that doesn't count to this guy, because it was ''nearing the collapse'' and everything was perfect before the 80s.

That's certainly not you, inbred reindeer fucker.

Apparently the Soviet Union was always approaching collapse because my parents lived the same way, if not worse.

and me and my parents lived the complete opposite lifestyle
tsk tsk tsk who to believe?
some hohol proxy/zoomer ?
or an actual person whoactually lived there

why are you so incapable of handling simple truth?
one million slavic "lives" arent worth a single hair of a finnish ubermensch

And higher purchasing power index.
Anyway this index is a meme. Estonia is on par with norway on here and above the US, Sweden and Japan.

Kek
made me laugh
thanks, finnish diseased chukhon' subhuman. Finns are made to be Russian subjects.

ITT NEETs from the rich capitalist countries defend socialism.

I'd rather believe a hohol than a firstoid advocating for shitty system which does not work.
Also, was your family by any chance involved with the communist party?

Hmm. Russhit expat leeching off a first world country or an actual native. Tough choice.

Why are butthurtbelters so uncreative?
Like some butthurt baltoid literally had to see the butthurt belters meme and go "no u" and make this image. Holy shit.

Your hate makes us stronger

>expat
not an expat, a citizen
>actual native
it's a proxy you dumb fuck, I lived in Tashkent, in the Uzbek SSR, a much poorer Republic comparatively to the Ukrainian one, and then later on in Crimea. Life was not as he descried it to be.
>Also, was your family by any chance involved with the communist party?
no

Seems to be working, thanks for the (You)

>Seems to be working,
Yeah, I'm laughing my ass off.
