Thread: Communism

I know some who would say:
-What about the millions that died under the U.S.S.R?
-Humans naturally work in self interest, only massive amounts of propaganda can attempt to change that.
-A person working harder should get more reward based on his work, he is working harder, and contributing to society more.

I presented the idea that although the Soviet Union may not have been great, it did (and I quote from a russian) "bring us from third world country to nuclear superpower in 30 years.". The response was... Sort of that that (<-- ENGLISH WHY) wasn't true.

And now they're going back to near-third world status from neo-Soviet/commie ideas and policies. What goes around, comes around.
