I feel like an assumption I come up against a lot with liberals is that the USSR had basically the same ownership class structure and wealth distribution that similarly developed capitalist classes had. I tried Binging this but don't have a good sense of what authors to trust.
Eh I don't think that's true. Having good politics doesn't make you smarter. Honestly I'd rather read someone with good scholarship and bad politics like Piketty than someone who has good politics but bad scholarship like :parenti:. I don't read to be told what to think, but to have access to reliable facts.
