There was giant price mismatch. they’ve allowed private individuals buy at government price, but sell at whatever, so lot of goods simply disappeared from worker reach, and some people got very very rich, while some stuff just disappeared, factories couldn’t buy some of their inputs at expected prices, etc.
Well, people at the party were that inept. People didn’t want ussr gone, but they weren’t prepared for the horror that happened, and didn’t fight that much.
*that’s just my understanding, I don’t know a lot about it
I…I don’t understand how the party could be that fucking incompetent? Like…why the fuck would you allow that at all???
Have the sale be forced at the same price. WTF is the need to allow this kind of profit.
Because a lot of them saw that they weren't making as much money as their U.S. middle-man counter parts and wanted a piece of 'American luxury'. Also, by this point, most of the political party had lost the zeal and intellectual rigour that dominated the party in it's first 50 years. It was easier, if you were smart, to either cloister yourself in academia, or become an engineer, than deal with the backroom political bullshit.
We are seeing a similar thing occur in the U.S. where most of the highest political operators are entirely self-motivated, even at the expense of the system itself. There are few George Bushes left in the system.
