In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation.
The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code.

It collapsed because they had to spend 1/3 of their money in not getting nuked by murika
>>53259987
This
They could not afford the cold war, they could not diversify their economy enough, nor could they keep up with the 70-80s tech race. So something was very wrong.
They also murdered 70.000.000 million people in gulags

I originally thought that they didn't like images of Muhammad because it might make the people worship the image instead of Allah. If this is their reasoning, why ban the faces of other people? Are they so weak willed that they will begin worshiping any picture with a face on it?

go home imperialist piggu

I think it's the depiction of the human form in general since they consider it to be sacred or something.
What I really don't understand is how they go nuts over the smallest things, like seeing some bitches ankles, someone drinking or somebody in a foreign country drawing a fucking picture, but are perfectly fine with fucking other men in the ass (as long as they say NO HOMO), pedophilia and executing innocent people.

Get fucked spic.

yet it was economically comparable to America in the 50s and 60s if not more advanced in some areas.
the massive buildup only happened as the USSR was in its massive decline already.
the real reason is planned economics are inefficient and ultimately always fail to meed the needs of a complex economy.
the USSR had a massive bureaucracy and state of the art computer technology in service just to keep the thing running, but the more it grew the more the bureaucracy needed to grow and the more bloated the entire enterprise became until it just broke down.

Orthodox had a whole thing about banning icons due to them being worshiped rather than god himself, till a compromise was reached. I'm guessing moohamed copypastad it one some capacity since he was in contact with various branches of christianity popular in me at the time.
