Late Cold War was some cool stuff - both sides making space shuttles for ~star wars~ written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle - Clancy creaming his pants about ekranoplans attacking carrier groups. Cool stuff. Now we have a one world state where the elite use fear and destabilized perception to control the masses and there are no dreams for the future. The future is now. Oh wait sorry *extremely Clintonite voice* gently caress those backwards foreigns. Potato lol. No opportunities for prosperity were squandered in the 1990's - Bill was great!

The USSR turned an undeveloped country whose economy was based pretty much entirely on serfdom until the late 19th century/early 20th century into a global superpower which put the first person into space over the course of about four decades. Their rockets did look funny, though.

Stalin himself said the USSR would have lost to Germany without US supplies nobody denies that capitalism is productive. you just have to murder a lot of people and take their stuff to make it work. either way none of that would have been necessary if the West had actually taken action against the Nazis when Russia wanted them to instead of waiting for my people to be forced into ghettos and for France to fall before taking any action.

No one said capitalism isn't productive - communism attempted to balance it with Enlightenment Humanism. Turns out enlightenment humanism is bunk and humans are materialistic creatures with no intrinsic reason, principles, or values. If you want to get ripped just take performance enhancing drugs - you can't argue with results and lol at ninnies who care about rules and fairness. The ends justify the means.

soviet advertising, the boldest and most brilliant of all advertising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acacJS5so40 a precursor to the modern car ad formula of 'driving shots with 20 year old music overlaid', but even better because they 100% didn't pay for the rights and just made a weird instrumental version instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikh4se21M2Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHOgySLC0s soviet ads for generic concepts like 'juice' and 'inflatable toys' unironically are great and are better than the snake oil garbage western advertising has become I mean maybe they're lying about the properties of juice but I doubt it, it's just juice everyone knows what juice does a long time ago I found one just advertising lemons, and it was just a man saying 'lemons!' over shots of lemons rolling down a conveyor belt and being packaged, but I haven't been able to find it again since
