    the collapse of the soviet union was a disaster for the entire human race

      Absolutely. Literal millions of people died as a result of capitalist restoration and neoliberal experiments in the USSR. And now it has led us into this war that might be even more dangerous too human civilization than anything that happened during the cold war.

      But on the other hand, for a few precious decades they had Pizza Hut in Moscow so who can tell whether it was good or bad?

      IMHO, the USSR should never have tried to match the West's military after they developed nuclear weapons. NATO countries were printing money out of thin air to fund their armies and most are still paying the debt accrued during those years - the US alone has 5-6 trillion in old defense budget spending as part of their national debt.

      Look at how much more popular the CCP is than the CPSU as it spends almost half of its budget on infrastructure and social programs.

        Imagine 10% of GDP not spent on military (so only around half the military spending), this would mean you could invest 3/3/3 in consumption/consumer/housing goods, light industy/information technology and infrastructure, internationalism/health/research/propaganda.
