@Quinzerrak Free from capitalist corruption but merely replaced with governmental corruption, you do know where power lies corruption will follow, like where humanity goes rats follow. All you can do if try to create a society where this can be minimum, for now IMO until we invent something better would be a mixed economy, try to balance the good of a free market with social safety net (NHS, Unemployment benefit, disability benefit, ...). This is why we have elections in the UK, where it swings conservative/labour, when one goes too far the other pulls it back. In the USA the Republican Party (GOP) is destroying this balance as they now just want a dictatorship now as they are racist, corruption at it's worst.
@@ramenlover1727 What poor? There were no homless in USSR, everyone had jobs, education, transportation, food regardless what your pathetic propaganda from america might tell you, CIA thought otherwise, released CIA documentation about USSR paint a picture very scary to the american mind, a country that had lack of nothing, manufactured its own goods, and ate better food than america. CIA concluded that revealing the truth about life in Socialist countries, would "damage" the mindset of the good american people. I ask you, you are a bigger expert, than CIA? I laugh in your face if you say yes.
what a magnificent subway these Russians had built for the people. Truly a remarkable example of modern transportation engineering blended with local ornamental designs and architectural planning.
@@DeathbornGamer that is a good question if I could live there in the 80s. I would say that it was livable and not the communism hell that the West portrayed. Of course it was inefficient and not a consumer society at all. At the time it was still evolving away from the Stalinist era so state repression of dissidents could still get you in trouble or off to the gulag. Also there was little in terms of night life or cafe scene rather everything was more focused in family life. There were however no homeless and no ghettos and no gangsters or societal violence. Thus it was a somegat calmer society. Yes i think it might have been interesting to live there for awhile but one would have to know Russian to manage.
I am from the states and love the states, and served for the military BUT, I've always been fascinated with the USSR. People tried making me feel guilty for being interested in it and I'm like I'm not against my own country, just interested in the world, people, their culture, fuck off lol. Anyways thanks for this.

Iirc, soundtracks at that time were physically coded into the films, in the sides of each slide, so it is the most prone towards tearing and folding, making it sound wild when played again.
Soviet subways cannot be compared to anything in the entire world, it was unique, maybe East German subway and the North Korean subway but I mean, not fair since both were/are Socialist countries so.
This is the issue. The ussr and the usa cannot be compared. I feel like Khruschev really ruined by trying to prove the ussr could top and match the usa in lifestyle. It could not. The ussr was a poor country from the 20s and industrialized went through famines and a nazi invasion. Wheras the united states had 200 years of industrialization off slavery and colonies. Compare ussr to india or pakistan and its achievments are noticed. Luckily in this neo cold war we have with china they dont think of themselves as on par with the usa.
@SMGJohn It's not necessary to compare it to a social country. The NYC subway sucks. The subway of many countries in the 70s/80s, like Spain or Japan, were actually like Moscow and Eastern Europe.

Country homes practically every family has one. Kids go to several private pay schools for different subjects each week. Art music and academics. Most 90% will attend secondary college. The villages are amazing. The sanctions only make Russia more self sustaining. The US is a mental institution in comparison, a nut house.

Можешь мне поверить - я сам в 1979 году снимал Красную площадь, Москву на кинокамеру. Всё в точности так и было. СССР - это не Северная Корея. В СССР было попроще. Для иностранцев - да, им сложнее было.
