    And yet it was worse or no better than the neoliberal hollowing out, the resurgence of fascism, the mass poverty and unemployment and homelessness and child prostitution that followed it?

    It directly led to that. The USSR's failure led to the 90's.

    The vast majority of people did not want the USSR to fall.

    Yeah, no shit. Most Americans don't want America to fall either. Not that it matters much, the system guarantees failure

    blah blah blah unstable better cappie quality of life

    Ok still fell though. Shit system, dead end style of government. Like you realize that if a country collapses it is proven to be running on a shit foundation right? Especially a world-bestriding colossus like the USSR that manages to kill itself from sheer economic mismanagement
