I would not call late-Soviet era revisionist leaders the "best minds in Russia"

    Well they think just saying "it doesn't work" means fucking anything to anyone other than propagandized dog brained libs.

    Just ask: What didn't work? Why didn't it work? When did it stop working? What measures were taken by "the best minds in Russia and China" to make it work, and why did those attempts fail? Watch their blank gormless faces when you ask them to simply flesh out this argument beyond the first fucking non-premise of "it didn't work". They don't have the slightest clue because they haven't thought about it beyond that.

      Yes, I notice this often. They say "x didn't work" and then you ask what was it that didn't work, and in what sense? And they frequently just don't really know what they mean, so they say contradictory stuff. The most coherent replies are the ones saying "it collapsed". But then did it work before it collapsed? If not, in what sense, and what made it not work? And why did it collapse? They don't really know.

        It's wild. The USSR existed for about 70 years, and China is around that as well. How does something that doesn't work last an entire lifetime to become globally dominant forces? The only way this works is if you have this foundation laid before you've even had the chance to consider the alternative.
