"Communism doesn't work"

Explain this shit. The soviet union was the second most powerful state in human history. They won the biggest war in history, against the most powerful military at the time. They put up a hell of an impressive fight during the cold war considering they were fighting the world. They had very high standards of living in relation to the rest of the world and where russia is right now. How is this proof of it not working? If the soviet union is communism not working then all it will take is two soviet unions not working to take over the planet.

yes, capitalism won the cold war because communists lost an entire generation and most of their infrastructure fighting back the nazis.

Yes and it eventually collapsed into 50 states. What's the point ? You're showcasing the worst example of a socialist society to ever exist. Of course they were so powerful when they had so much satellite states to bleed resources from. They plagued half of Europe, fuck those spergs

America had an entire fucking continent and half of europe too.

Russia pre-USSR was the biggest Nation of earth; bigger then the continental USA.

They also had the Warsaw nations.

You lost because you stink and you treat people horribly.

>world war 2 end ended 1945
>1991 soviet union still dint recover from war
OK so you are also aware communism is failed ideology so why are you shilling it then??

Cause he hates the European people.

America toppled every government in latin america into a puppet state. They still had to go begging Mao after the sino-soviet split. It's laughable how much they had to work with compared to the soviets.

it's almost like (((Capitalists))) orchestrated the mass killing of it's two biggest enemy ideologies by having them bleed each other dry

>communism literally fails
>"IT WORKED"
glad I'm not this delusional

soviet union still dint recover from war
this is a meme to excuse the failures of capitalism in eastern europe. No marshall plan this time unfortunately. Suck a dick traitors.

so what's your point oh yes again you proved not only usa was economically stronger that sssr but they also had money to share on its allies

unlike you meme flag i lived in socialist utopia it was fun buying bread that cost half million dinara

You are claiming the Soviet Union was a powerful empire, but was unable to recover from the war. Are you legitimately retarded?

Nah commiefag is right, russians were by far the biggest reason allies won the war. US was not really relevant in ww2 until quite late.

>10 million
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease
It was 11 billion jackass. Without it the Russians would have been unable to mobilize their reserves and conduct deep battle operations.

>costly war
The US financed most of the Soviet war effort. By finances I mean raw materials, logistic systems, and fuel. Ffs the Soviets couldn’t produce fuel with a high enough octane for their aircraft. Try again.

>Japan
Lmao you really are retarded. Declaring war at the last minute to land grab in Manchuria didn’t do shit. The nips were effectively firebombed into submission by that point and their merchant fleet was at the bottom of the ocean thanks to US air power.

>inb4 muh stalingrad
There were several failed offensives in 1943 that are glanced over because it doesn’t look good for the mythology that surrounds the war. The Germans arguably had the best defensive tactics and strategy of the war. IE layered defense networks that would encourage the enemy to maneuver itself into the kill zone. However by 1944 the Soviets were fully motorized and being sent to the front in US made trucks and trains so that became null.

there are monuments to the red army all over the world

>even tho is poor we dont have electricity and work 12 hours a day we live happy

yet to prove me how communism is not failed ideology

America gave those 3rd world commies billions in planes and equipment, Russia is shit and it will always be shit. Their weather, OUR MASSIVE SUPPORT and complete lack of regard for human life is the only reason they "won" anything. When you don't care if 60 million of your own die, you can "win" anything I guess.

that's nonsense. the reserves were already mobilized once american aid even kicked in. it was material aid in essence, in the form of additional production materials. it amounted to 4 to 7% of soviet production. It was logistical help, sure, but nothing essential

Not a biggie.

This is David Glantz. He is the leading american historian when it comes to the second world war on the eastern front. Writing books on it for 40 years. This is what he had to say:

>“Without Lend-Lease … the Soviet economy would have been even more heavily burdened by the war effort,” Glantz noted.

>But it’s unlikely the aid turned the war entirely in the Soviet Union’s favor, as the German military was overstretched even during the 1941 invasion. That vulnerability was exposed terribly during the Red Army’s 1941–1942 Moscow counter-offensive—and it’s unlikely Germany would have won the war even if it had captured Moscow. And that was when Lend-Lease was just beginning.

>But Lend-Lease certainly helped in many ways. “If the Western Allies had not provided equipment and invaded northwest Europe [our emphasis], Stalin and his commanders might have taken twelve to eighteen months longer to finish off the Wehrmacht,” Glantz noted.

>“The result would probably have been the same, except that Soviet soldiers would have waded at France’s Atlantic beaches rather than meeting the Allies at the Elbe.”

It's not the problem but it's a very clear symptom of it. Centralised control of the economy isn't good for the economy but if the people running it are greedy and corrupt it's even worse.
Not to mention that it's the communist ideology that breeds this corruption in the first place

Just fucking cut it off. You're too stupid to have one. Let the blood flow until you pass out.

Soviet union "functioned" as a state because it was radically authoritarian. Authoritarianism is a functional (but unstable) system from achieving large scale human works.

Communism doesn't work because it always becomes authoritarian on the way to the workers utopia and surprise surprise authoritarians dont like giving up power, especially to the useful idiots who put them there.

Communism is idealistic in the extreme and ignores large portions of human behavioral psychology for its economic and social predictions.

If communism always leads to shitty authoritarians and your argument is that authoritarians are effective then why not skip the middleman and go straight to a properly integrated and thought out authoritarian system like fascism, monarchism or national socialism.

>They won the biggest war in history, against the most powerful military at the time.
They didn't do it by themselves
>They put up a hell of an impressive fight during the cold war considering they were fighting the world.
Russia wasn't fighting the allies, so to say that they were fighting the world is untrue.
>They had very high standards of living in relation to the rest of the world and where russia is right now.
You call starvation and lack of freedoms a high standard of living?
>How is this proof of it not working?
Well, what is your definition of "working"? If, with a "working communist" state, you mean a state in which everyone is equal (except for the leaders, they are more equal than the ordinary citizens), a state in which there is barely freedom, and a state that will eventually collapse due to a lack of food, then yes, it was working.

Here is a 19 page paper written by two Russians that does not make absurd claims, like the Russians breaching Normandy. He is a good historian, but like many he specializes and allows his opinions to influence his work. She. The Soviet command is on record stating Lend Lease was invaluable to the Russian war effort the opinions of a historian looking at things after the fact is zero.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease

Soviet casualties in total were closer to 30 million, some Russian historians put it as high as 41 million, but I doubt that, military casualties were at least 10 million, but very likely higher, most civilians died from starvation, cross fire, Stalins refusal to evacuate, and the Soviet scorched earth policy. Even today Russia alone has ten million more women than men, and all ex soviet nations have a similar problem.

>The soviet union was the second most powerful state in human history
Remind me again, which was the first?

>Explain this shit
Read a fucking history book you retarded utopian cultist.

USSR never reached communism, retard. It died in the socialist stage. If you want examples of pratical communism, look up Ukrainian Free Territory and CNT-FAI in Catalonia. None lasted even 5 years.

>most civilians died from starvation
yeah. because the nazis were exporting food from captured areas within the ukraine. this is well documented.

>cross fire

lmfao

>Stalins refusal to evacuate
only significant in leningrad as far as I recall

>Soviet scorched earth policy.

meme. no evidence it led to mass numbers of deaths. Most civilian deaths within the soviet union came from german war of annihilation and worker camps.

also see all the experimental communes of the 60s and 70s that failed spectacularly as they attempted to model utopian communistic living.

Communism is still rotting out most of the world. Nobody won shit. Capitalists funded communism as a means of subversion and conquest. Let's be less stupid.

The sad truth is communism was a Jewish cockblock against the real Russian threat--the monarchy.

Did Capitalism collapse in 2007/8 when Western governments bailed out failed financial institutions to the tune of trillions, at the expense of future generations? Capitalism, in its current state, is living on borrowed time.

AKA, the Romanovs.

Are you retarded? While it appears to be a small amount in comparison to the TOTAL soviet production statistics, for things like aviation fuel, over 90% came from the allies, 100,000s trucks, armoured vehicles, tanks, massive amounts of raw resources, equipment, weapons, ammunition, clothing, etc this allowed the Soviets to free up millions of men for fighting, and to fill the massive gaps in production.

the soviets were not overstretched in any capacity. they had millions in reserves and their production was literally on fire. there was no shot of them losing the war as they were, let's be serious here, fighting a nation that had no industrial capacity left to speak of. the thing you're missing is the key raids the americans conducted on romanian oilfields and german oil reserves, which basically crippled the wehrmacht. that's the real contribution the allies made to the war. they shortened it for the soviets in the end, but it was gonna be won anyway.

Hello gomrades! XDDDD Dis general is for disgussion of margsism-lebonnism, da ideology of revolutionary socialism and gommunism.

>To achieve gommunism we must replace broduction with murderous obressive rulers liek me, fug working glass beeple. XDDDD Struggle while I liquidate you all lol. When capitalists run away we win and I kill you all. Eventually the functions of state cease and state becomes murderous and indistinguishable from other gommies. Da state withers away liek da people.

You know what caused part of that banking collapse? The fact that banks and the US government tried to help poor people buyhomes they couldn't afford by subsidising them and messing with interest rates. Doesn't sound like a free capitalist system to me.

The soviet union was state capitalism.
Just as China is fascism, under the banner of communism.
And Cuba is now fascist, and not communist.

I doubt everyone was starving because of the Germans, millions were starving to death even before the Germans invaded, and I’m sure the war fucked up supply lines, farms, and I highly doubt Stalin or Hitler would bother feeding fucking slav peasants. It was the largest war in history, and the level of fighting was apocalyptic, civilians were absolutely going to get caught out, Stalin refused to evacuate everywhere, the only things he did take were machinery, weapons, soldiers, and vehicles. civilians meant fucking nothing to him, and abandoning them is second nature to a commie. The scorched earth policies absolutely caused deaths, you think destroying or harvesting all the crops, taking or destroying all the vehicles, and farm machinery, destroying bridges, roads, railroads etc wouldn’t fuck things up for normal people?

(You)
Now fuck off faggot shithead.

>The soviet union was state capitalism.
Complete meme and misunderstanding of soviet governance. Everything the soviet union did was in favor of their citizens. They did not produce anything if the people did not need it. They didn't invest in anything that wouldn't benefit the people. The goal of capitalism is to make profits. The goal of the soviet union, even at its most revisionist phase, was to benefit the working class.

Well the USSR wasn't real communism so--

The proof of it not working is that there are no working commie countries today. You're cherry picking facts and getting your info from commie sources.

>in favor of the citizens
big oof my dude.

>The goal of capitalism is to make profits. The goal of the soviet union, even at its most revisionist phase, was to benefit the working class.

Which is actually one of the major flaws of communism. Working for your own benefit is quite natural. Working for the benefit of your state is not. Most people in commie countries did not give a shit, and put in minimum effort in their work.

I mean.. the cold war twisted america into something much different than it was before. They became the most militarized state in human existence and are still actively looking for targets to this day. If you don't think the soviet union was as powerful as it gets you're full of shit.

The only thing that saved russia's ass was winter time and a german split front

Are you ignoring my points? While the Soviet Union may be producing lots of shit, they had major gaps in places such as fuel, vehicles, food, machinery etc. The land lease while minor in comparison to everything produced in the entire country was major in certain sectors, and with this shit being flooded into the country, it allowed for Stalin to free up farmers, workers, etc, and equip them. The land lease provided a shitload of vehicles which allowed the red army to mechanise, and motorise. The Germans were still using fucking horses due to the disadvantages, just admit that your shitty dystopia was propped up by a bunch of imperialist, and capitalist superpowers in order to crush one of the last free nations on the planet.

>german split front
who were they splitting the front with in 1941?

It doesn’t exist anymore.

You're misunderstanding what the war is. The germans used horses because they sucked at production, sure, but you don't realize they were the ones on the offensive. Once the soviet union defeated them mobilization meant very little, at least in terms of winning the war. What american aid did for the soviets was allow them to sprint to Berlin, but it was already designated they should get to have berlin at Tehran. So you're arguing about stuff that was pre-determined. Yes Stalin and FDR and Truman were actively conspiring and using each other to their advantage. They also agreed at Yalta that the soviets are gonna attack the Japanese in 3 months to help america.

North Africa, and garrisons all over Europe, something like 30% of the German military was stuck in areas other than the eastern front, but the Soviets were able to focus most of their massive military on to a single front.

>something like 30%
completely incorrect. close to 90% of their fighting capacity was on the eastern front at one time.

the only thing what saving your ass and UK ass from Germany of 1941 is fucking ocean.

Capitalism lifts millions out of poverty by giving them the means to work hard and lift themselves out of property while competing with the big billionaire businesses. Capitalism encourages all business owners to compete to provide the best products and services to earn as much money from customers as possible. When it fails to do that and corporations remove freedom from the free market with the aid of the politicians they bought, it becomes Corporatism. Apple making its phones super-cheaply in China using low-cost child labour to get an advantage over other, more ethical businesses only flies because no politicians are interested in kicking China's nuts over its corrupt government and abundance of child-labour sweatshops. When Capitalism works, it exploits humanity's greed by channeling it constructively, and when big businesses insult you by creating shit products, you don't have to buy them or support the companies that make them.

stalin wasn't an idealist, that's why it worked until he died.

This is retarded bait. They had a million prime soldiers stuck in Norway that never fought

Communism kills millions and inevitably fails because giving absolute unrestricted power to violent and insane propagandized idealogues who think all freedoms and rights and responsibilities are cancers and they're the cure to all cancers can't possibly end well, and has never ended well before. Communism means giving unlimited power to a Communist government and making it illegal to criticize it, its enforcers, and the "Useful Idiots" who've been convinced they'll have better lives under Communism and won't be the second group of people to be purged. Communists are the greedy who don't want to be constructive, and just want power. Communism is a lie evil people use to sieze power by convincing evil people supporting Communism is the best way to gain power, and at the same time, convincing stupid people Communism is the best way to make the world a better and fairer place. Communism says it wants to abolish heirarchies and class systems because it wants to create an absolute heirarchy where your class, power, and worth as a person is determined by how Communist you are and how high up the corrupt Communist government you are. Socialism is a code-word for Communism, not some kind of Alternate-Rules Variant of it, same goes for Marxism. Blindly following the lies evil people used to sieze power in the past helps nobody. Communism doesn't work, that's why Communists try so hard to censor anti-Communist voices before those voices can shatter the illusions and delusions of the propagandized using facts and logic. Under Communism, the corrupt communist government controls all ineptly and maliciously, you have no private property rights or individual human rights, and the government decides what you do, eat, and are. Communism killed more people than Nazism because it doesn't actually give people the utopia it tells the easily-misled it'll create 4 years after it siezes power.

In summation:

When Free Market Capitalism works, it's the fairest system of economics possible. It allows anyone to learn what they want, create what they want, and go into business trying to sell what they want. It lets people succeed and fail on their own individual merits rather than restricting what they can do/say/learn based on where they come from, what politics they follow, where they come from, who their parents were, and so on. When that freedom is compromised by big corporations and government corruption, it becomes Corporatism, which sucks but is still better than Communism, which kills and fails.
