I've seen many people on this site talk about how if Andropov lived longer he could have prevented the collapse of the USSR or at least increased its odds of survival. I'm curious as to what his reforms were that people here mention.

    Yugoslavia’s debt is an overblown issue. Most of the individual republics are now several times more indebted, then all of them together were, in Yugoslavia, but suddenly it doesn’t matter because they did the neoliberalism.

      Yep, debt has always been a political issue rather than an economic one

      Being more indebted now doesn't really change the fact that the Yugoslav system was flawed . And with that last point, yeah that's why you are never gonna win taking out loans unless you are a neoliberal country. A leftist project will only get screwed over by that shit
