What were the best things about the Soviet Union?

They used the Yoshi's Island song for their national anthem, that's pretty cool.

Why would I want free things at the expense of my salary when I can provide a service to the world and buy them myself?
You're also making the (incredibly false) assumption that the government can provide better quality education at the expense of your taxes better than the Free Market can. Which is quite false.

Russia won't collapse because of a few traitors, who got brainwashed by the glitzy and gleamy consumerist lifestyle, left the country to work for dirty western money. I'd rather remain poor and with a clear conscience than betray my country and go work for the same people who bombed it. You Westerners are selfish and think the purpose in life is to be fat and visit the mall every other day, buying stuff that 90% you don't even need. Sad.

Nah he probably won't lmao
>>60031423
What are you talking about you stupid britbong, communism vanished 25 years ago.
USSR collapsed cuz they did not change their centralized planned economy to an decentralized planned economy utilizing computers, and giving colective and democratic ownership to the workers. They did started it in the 50's but the hardline burocracy stopped the project and in the end what they had was a state capitalist society.
>>60031813
This.
Communism is based, gulags and free things 4 life
>>60031813
> USSR collapsed cuz they did not change their centralized planned economy to an decentralized planned economy
Guess what, Fernando. When they finally did that in 1991, western "investors", who quickly formed coalition with domestic "investors", plundered and pillaged every state enterprise. Firms were literally being sold for 10$.
>>60028629
I will try list them:
Healthcare is free
kindergarten, school, uni are free
you will get work after graduation
free commieblock flat or place in hostel
Good mathematics and physics education
that's all

>>60031947
this is what i mean for decentralized economy

wich also mean abandoning currency, not selling every thing to private investors
>>60031947
it's true but almost every product from ussr was more expensive and in the same time lesser quality than we could export.
>>60031886
Also free gulag trips for "lolberts".
I'm surprised no one mentioned the big plus of the USSR:
How many Russians died because of it
Stalin was based as fuck, too bad he didn't complete his mission :(
>>60032012
Are you an idiot? I said that western pillagers formed a coalition with domestic "new capitalists" and politicians so that they could buy state enterprises for very low prices. Firms which were worth 200 million were sold for 10 million and the ones who we're doing the estimation got their share of the deal. One sugar refinery was literally sold for 1 euro. We had capitalism for 16 years and every year is worse than the last. Some can't take it anymore and emigrate to western countries, even though they bombed us and destroyed our infrastructure and factories. I'd never do that. I'd rather kill myself and cease to be with dignity that betray my country and go work in the West.

It wasn't hard for them to pay off the firm's debt when they bought the firm extremely cheap.

>>60032852
Epic!
>>60032803
Yeah, they bought the factories 10-20 times cheaper than their real value, so paying off the factory's debt was no problem. That fact was even used to further legitimize the nationwide plundering. Do you really believe that foreigners buy state enterprises out of good will and to make the country prosperous? What they do is they analyze domestic prices of necessary comodities and set wages to the substinence level. Since there's mass unemployment, workers can only shut up and work for 200 euros a month. You're so naive and gullible, Boris.
>>60030563
Right, because the Soviet Union definitely never made any major technological innovations.
>>60031813
100% this. Two things screwed the Soviets, corruption, and the logistical issues of managing such a massive economy.
Democratization of the state would allow the people to hold politicians to account far more easily, thus fighting corruption.
Splitting the economy up into various autonomous soviets controlled by the workers would have solved the economy issue.
Also not spending all their money on weapons probably would have helped.

>>60033005
You don't understand one thing: if they were not bought they would be demolished or just abandoned. There were people working there who would be without jobs. That's reality. Better have some companies that owned by foreign investors than no companies at all

>>60033275
>How the fuck can you "decentralize" a socialist government
You can have an economy based on free markets but instead of private corporations you have autonomous soviets under democratic worker's control competing with each other.
>which needs absolute power to take peoples' things?
The government doesn't need absolute power, it just needs the power to redistribute the means of production. Political repression, lack of free speech, oligarchic control and all the other shitty things that happened in the USSR happened because the government cracked down on these thing during the revolution and civil war to consolidate itself and then just never let go. Same old shit you see in every revolution, right or left wing. It has nothing to do with socialism itself.
>>60033509
>it just needs the power to redistribute the means of production
Why should it be redistributed? Who decided that?
>>60033593
Well in the Soviet Union the Bolshevik party did, but nobody is for a second suggesting the Soviet Union was democratic.
In general I would hope that such a decision should be made democratically and legitimately. Although desu I'm not much for redistribution on that scale.

The Soviet Union under socialism turned the poorest Eurasian serfdom into the America's only superpower rival in just 50 years.
It brought relative prosperity to its citizens and caused literacy to soar.
Imperial Russia was apparently not headed in that direction.

2bh, soviet and communist states usually collapsed because central soviet authorities created puppet states where they appointed incompetent, bumbling dictators so they could control the country's internal affairs for their own purposes, rather than the country's interests proper.
It's a lot like how America works pretty well, but America's puppet states are almost without exception shitty places to live.
