I see this claim made a lot: that the Soviet Union achieved economic growth that has never been seen before or after, so threw it at some angry Redditor. They brought up Japan/ South Korea from 1950-1990 and looking into it, it seems as though they are comparable, at least when using GDP South Korea actually does a lot better than the Soviet Union. Now this leaves out rapid Industrialization which I assume is what is meant with "unparraleled economic growth" and also GDP may not be the best indicator but it's still impressive. Of course Japan and SK were also subsidized by the US. Am I missing something? and does anyone have good sources on the growth of the Soviet Economy from 1921-1990?

Any help is much appreciated

I don't know how to feel about this

Whenever I put in the display name I want and hit the save button it doesn't actually save it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The mods really aren't interested in getting people to learn about anything the don't agree with huh?

Edit: Also I can't seem to appeal the ban lmao. Mods mad.

It obviously is but I'm having trouble finding good sources to argue this point. Especially statements of intent seem hard to find.

The Dutch elections are today. I was outside handing out Flyers to people on their way to vote. The Flyers broke down the different stances of the parties on Palestine, in the hopes people would vote for those that are pro-palestine. Is this reconcilable with the anti-electoralist stance I take as a Marxist?

Why or why not?
