Ребята, вы настоящие бизоны! Индустриализация против социализма - это сильное противопоставление!

Собственно, я не бизон, но про остальных ничего не могу сказать.
Штука в том, что индустриализация приводится как одно из самых значимых достижений Советской власти. Современная пропаганда величия СССР стоит на трёх китах: индустриализация, победа над Германией и достижения в области науки и спорта. Я лишь хотел показать, что пропаганда всегда остаётся лишь пропагандой, а отнюдь не истиной в последней инстанции. И любой из трёх китов тому пример.

победа над Германией

If you didn't know history and just looked at WW2 casualties and quality of life now - you might think that Germany won WW2...

Well, that is another common misconception. Germany did not achieve its goals in the WWII, so it lost in the war. The amount of casualties is never a goal in a war, but a price. The wars are being started by the politicians to achieve their own goals and the goals of the power group they represent. And those goals are being transformed to the so-called 'national interests' by the very same group. The WWII had been started by the power clique naming itself the 3rd Reich and their goals had not ultimately been achieved - the group had lost power and many lives. Nothing to do with the amount of casualties and the quality of life of modern Germany.
