Hard-mode: you can't say communism because China exists.

Isolated market aside from oil and gas. China is communist but integrated in the world market

China is as communist as we are muslim.

Take that seriously or not, that's exactly the difference.

They're communists without any of the marxism but with all of the authoritarianism.

Great firearm safety. I was waiting for her to shoot the cameraman.

>Why was the Russian economy so weak after the most deadly war up to this moment in human history?
>During which the entire Russian economy experienced one of the worst inflations in history
>During which 2 revolutions happened
>Which led to the occupation of Belarus, the Baltic states, Ukraine and Poland
>Which also led to the bloodiest civil war in European history
Jeez I don't know OP, maybe Ivan just forgot how to work without guidance from his Germanic Tsars

>what is 2+2
>hard-mode: you can’t say 4
It was communism. Just accept it already

It wasn't. The Russian economy was strong enough to support a superpower that credibly challenged the US for global hegemony.

The Cold War was fought for a reason. It wasn't a meme. People really were afraid of the USSR. The Soviets could have taken Western Europe in a two weeks at any time from 1945 to ~1981.

The USSR began to fall apart at the end, obviously, but that was more due to politics and rot than any inevitable destiny.

China is not communist

Economic sanctions from nearly every major western nation.
Vs. China, to whomever we outsource everything under the sun.
It's not hard mate.
But then again, your a shill, and this is a slide thread.

communism. war. the 90s. market is still stronger than China's.

what is an Instagram model? it's a website where you upload photos for free. I don't understand, how do they make money?

Fuck off China isn't socialist

Sponsors.

Stalin killed many of the smartest members of different industries. The end result was sub par doctors engineers and generals.

>I don't understand, how do they make money
Always money to be made with beta cucks around.

weak institutions, corruption (limited open-access markets and no democracy)

majority of country's production is oriented toward oil and gas (energy products), at a time when oil and gas energy is unpopular and when the global supply of oil and gas energy is as high as it's ever been. That, plus strongly inelastic demand (demand which doesn't increase or decrease much with prcies) for those products means the price is very low.

also their median citizen is an old fat alcoholic with no skills.

oh and their population is shrinking or stagnant.

China isn't 'communist'. They're a weird hodgepodge of authoritarianism and free-ish enterprise.

anyone with an ICBM could 'credibly challenge' the us. Cough cough norks. The reason people cared about USSR in the cold war was that *any* war would be pretty terrible, because nukes. Conventional head-to-head war had to be avoided in favor of proxy wars. Against shit farmers in afghanistan, the USSR almost had a chance.

> Economic Sanctions
freezing the bank accounts of comrade putin's comrades isn't broad-based economic sanctions. Russia largely does whatever trade it pleases. Too bad nobody wants the shit they're selling, and too bad Russia uses(used) it's wintertime energy supply to europe as a political cudgel.

Truth. So was Deutschland, look at them now. Germans got the bigger brains and bigger balls. Honestly, it probably comes down to alcohol abuse but let's go with racial superiority because muh genetics.

most of russia, or rather, most of russia's population is in temperate zones you mongoloids. Look at a map you filthy cretins.

---

Russia sucks because their political/economic system is primitive, because their people are poorly educated, because their economy depends on one volatile commodity, and because their population is shrinking.

sponsored deals. They promote products.

Do you want to live in China?
Answer: no.
You don't want to live in China

>Why is Russian economy so weak post WWI?
Communism (yes, it still matters, compare China to Japan or worst Korea)
Sparsely populated
Poor coastal access + long distances --> expensive logistics and trade
Multicultural society requires strong central authority to keep the country together --> no freedum
Systemic corruption (partly due to multiculturalism) which reaches up to the highest levels of government. The Russian political-economic system is corrupt to the core

>Why is Russian economy so weak post WWI?
Jews

They suffered trillions of dollars in damage from kikes

Jews

it was always bad

Because civil war, huge economic instability, being a pariah state, and generally being a victim of command economics.

corrupt officials who steal every last bit of money/resources and use it for their own gain.

Easy, 2+2=6-2. Get btfo'd faggot

Dumb kike. China got rich after dropping the economic portion of communism. Its a capitalist oligargh now.

What the fuck are you smoking about, it should be
> Why is Russian economy so weak post perestroika?
And the answer is oil.

How is that any different from us, France, you guys, etc?

China’s economy is fucking horrid. You get a PhD in China cause there are so many ppl with bs and ms then you get 40k per year job

> Japan, Korea
just the proxies of US
also China only got better after betrayed USSR and followed US. China position in the world nowadays is not due to communism or in spite of communism, but because of US. So US just reaped what it sowed

>also their median citizen is an old fat alcoholic with no skills.
>because their people are poorly educated
Russians have more educated people than whatever shithole you live in, you uneducated inbred. Practically everyone goes to university and our school standards are harsh on everyone.
The only uneducated people you can find are in rural areas, which are unpopulated and dying out, most of our population is concentrated in big cities.
>Russia largely does whatever trade it pleases
Wrong. Economic sanctions are not only about us selling our stuff, but about buying stuff from others. The latter is getting sanctioned. We import practically everything, increased prices on import products devastate the economy.
>So was Deutschland, look at them now
Deutschland wasn't nearly as devastated as Rusland, you braindead retard. Germans actually suffered harder from WW1 than from WW2, after WW1 they were basically starving, which fueled the WW2, when they took a lot of loans and said "oh, fuck you, we are not giving anything back, we are going to take over the world now, again". And then Germans lost again, and AGAIN they got subsidised, again everyone was pouring money into Germany, and even the devastated Soviet Russia was rebuilding eastern Germany.
Germany is situated in the heart of Europe and it is a trade and industrial heaven, after wars it always turned into a power vacuum which was filled with foreign investment to make Germany great again. Everyone wants to see Germany in good health, because it benifits everyone.

At the same time, our trade potential is shit. Our industrialization wasn't a natural economic process, but a forced communist agenda. We only gained the position of a super power during the Soviet era, because of insane work hours.
And NOBODY fucking invests into Russia. Even China doesn't. NOBODY benifits from a strong Russia, well, except Russia. Nobody likes us and nobody wants us here.
