Yes, just because something seems cool is totally a justification for doing that instead of more urgent things like feeding your own people or making sure they have toilet paper. Definitely the most appropriate use of resources.

This was mainly only a large issue at first during the first stages of collectivization. Also the food shortages at the time can hardly be blamed on the USSR.

The land owners were purposely withholding food and producing less food on purpose so they could drive market prices through the roof. This combined with a terrible winter and drought in summer, resulted in widespread crop failures across the entire region.

Anyway I don't want to make this a discussion about how shit the USSR was like every terrible dicussion on this board devolves into, it's about Soviet and Socialist achievements.

During the first couple years, the USSR tried to have a "Socialist cultural revolution" which was stopped by Stalin.

What was a major theme of this "cultural revolution"? Free love baby.

Come on, read some history. USSR was exporting food even as its population was starving. The government even refused to open up the granaries during the famine.

In the 70s the Soviet Union had an even higher life expectation than USA.

It had the 3rd highest GDP after USA and Japan.
The 2nd strongest military.
In Olympia it was the 2nd strongest combatant.

-After the Union collapsed the Suicide rate skyrocketed.
-People now live much poorer than in the Soviet Era.
-Criminality skyrocketed.

Not in Ukraine.

Also the USSR was exporting Grain, but that was because they desperately needed money since the country was a feudal shithole and most the people were dying anyway.

The biggest criticism of Stalin at that point was that he tried to industrialize way too fast. But remember, with the rise of Fascism and the constant threat of international invasion from the British Empire, Germany or America. They needed seriously to get manufacturing off the ground.

The food shortages in the Ukraine were a deliberate policy of the Soviet government. And don't give me any shit about "land owners". Kulaks (land owning peasants) had had all their land confiscated and most of them had been hanged.

Yes the very early bolshevik era was dominated by highly progressive types. They tried to entertain the workers with avant-garde plays and promoted the collectivisation of sex and love. Stalin was fundamentally fairly conservative, so he undid all that garbage.

>tfw efficient allocation of resources, economic planning, and investment on a global scale could have us all working 3 hours a day and American scale fat

Go to places like India, Indonesia, Nepal, Africa, etc where there are still people living largely off sustenance agriculture or other primitive economic functions that don't contribute much to the greater whole, build them up with technology, collectivization, industry, etc. Move industry back to the West while building domestic industry in those countries and building them up as independent self sufficient powers ala Soviet industrialization.

Boom, huge new workforce, record levels of production, technology that would otherwise give way to unemployment in the capitalist system (robots making burgers that have been posted here) can be used to improve production without putting people out on the street and driving down wages, meaning a larger workforce with less socially necessary labor required to maintain the system.

If the Soviets hadn't pussied out when it came to nuclear arms and testing controls, they would have spurred the US to adopt pic related instead of chemical rockets.

I miss the USSR. I wasn't alive for much of the Cold War but it's obvious that America is at its best when we have a true rival to keep us from getting complacent.

Russia or China, or both, please step up and start making threatening moves again. Remind us Americans of what's important, egg us on a bit. We need you! We'll still trade with you and whatnot, just be better rivals.

It's the goal that America decided they would go for, because they decided to set the bar that fucking high. Did you guys ever even orbit the moon? We decided to go there because the technical undertaking would prove America and the capitalist system's dominance over a weak incompetent system fueled by apathy. We decided to go the fucking Moon because it was there, and we said, "Hey, we're Americans. That's fucking ours now. Fucking slavs can deal with it."

Alan Shepard was in space less than 2 weeks after Gagarin. We sent a fucking monkey up before Gagarin, we could have sent Shepard. But we value our people unlike zerg rush shitbags.

tl;dr: we went their because we're awesome, socialists need not apply

If the US had chosen to go with non-chemical propulsion, we would have put a much larger station into orbit much earlier, not to mention trips to Mars and Saturn's moons. Plans had manned landings on Mars by 1965, flybys of Enceladus in 1970.

If the Soviets had responded in kind, it would have been amazing.

Food shortages and famine resulting from massive mismanagement of collective farms.
The Soviet propaganda machine hailing Lysenkoism a revolution and stigmatizing genetics a bourgeois pseudoscience harmful to the economy.
Soviet imposed stalls in research resulting from executions and labor camp detentions of genetics researchers.

First was a suborbital flight, but we ran unmanned satellites and tests orbiting before that so it's not like it was that much more of an undertaking. We just decided to take baby steps until we got our feet wet.

No, Russia could have gone to the moon after Americans.

But you have to understand the Russian mindset and pride. Why bother being 2nd if you were not 1st? They were like: "Screw it. We are not going after them on the moon. We should make it look like we were never interested in it anyway."

It will be fucking humiliating if the Chinese go there before Russia, though. Considering that Russia kick started the whole race. Putin should do something and restore the Russian pride and go to moon.

I have heard some honest and sincere people say to me, "Yes, Paul, we agree with everything you say about Jim Crow and persecution. We're with you one hundred percent on these things. But what has Russia ever done for us Negroes?" . . . The answer is very simple and very clear: "Russia," I say, "the Soviet Union's very existence, its example before the world of abolishing all discrimination based on color or nationality, its fight in every arena of world conflict for genuine democracy and peace, this has given us Negroes the chance of achieving our complete liberation within our own time, within this generation."

You are right. Did you know that Russia lost more resources/money from 1990-1998 than in WW2? Gorbachev did some mistakes but Yeltsin was a fucking disaster. He gave Russias resources away for fucking free. Western businessmen were ready to split Russia up. Russia was on the brink of fucking destruction. On the brink of a fucking civil war. People didn't receive any money for months! The 90s were the most terrible time for Russia after the Stalin era.

Thats why I think Putin has done much for Russia. The income has tripled, the unemployment is under 7% and the population decline is stopped.

Russia is still chaotic and corrupt but it is independant and it has the control back over it's wealth.

You can't cheat in classical music, classical dance. But there's no more "Art" in painting.

At least these official artists were craftsmen, they knew a technique and celebrated those who actually produced something valuable.

Plus Revolution gave birth too, in its early times, interesting experiences as Constructivism. But our current system spoiled it. We live in lies where workers are stolen by parasites using worthless abstractions to hypnotize the crowds.

The finance is a big lie. The dollar is a lie. The FED is not Federal. And our "Art" reflects this situation. It is mainly just crap wrapped with pseudo-intellectual mumbling.

No they just guess. That's why uniforms tend to be all exactly one colour, rather than shifting shades to match texture and shadow. They're just doing it by eye.

The Space shuttle was the shittiest thing NASA ever did.

It turned out to be more expensive than previous flights, it had massive design faults and was incredibly dangerous.

Kind of funny as that is the exact scenario in many western countries now.

No protest zones, no free speech zones, prostesters being herded away by riot police to areas away from where everyone else is.

We are becoming more and more authoritarian. The difference is that the USSR somewhat cared for their people. The Banking cartels that control the rest couldn't give one fuck.

Keep in mind that the rulers of the Soviet Union were the sons of soldiers in WW2.

The horror of WW2 was still fresh and the SU was therefore very paranoid about America. All the satellite states were installed as an protection belt against western invasions.

After WW2 the Russians swore that never, ever again should any country invade Russia.

Every factory in the SU could be transformed in a tank plant in 1 week.
Every school/hospital/theater had a bunker.
Every pupil had to learn in school how to shoot. Even girls.

It's unbelievable how paranoid they were.

What you can't see in these photos and paintings is that everyone in the USSR lived in fear and hated their lives, they all wish they could escape to the west but couldn't because they knew their families would suffer if they did.
Life in the USSR was dreadful for everybody except Stalin.

People would have friends and family disappear over night for no reason because Stalin would kidnap them and put them to work in forced labor camps.

Communism and Socialism has failed everywhere. It is time to move on to An-Cap and build a world where technology borne out of competition gives everyone a perfect life.

YOU try putting landing gear on a space craft using only drafting tables, slide rules and a sheet of paper.

Then I want you to test the motherfucker in wind tunnels using only load bearing meters with a clipboard to take measurements, manual aerodynamic computation to figure out its hyper-sonic characteristics, engineer the exterior (BY HAND) to withstand re-entry and the sheer amount of rocket science necessary to complete the project before the 1980s.

muh space

Space happened despite the Soviet System and not because of it. Soviets had the scientists building their rockets tortured, thrown into gulag, some killed and some and almost killed. Lucky for them not all of them died so now the young commies can pound their chest about the superiority of USSR because of rockets these scientists built.

And compare that, to this.

Your picture is a pretty snapshot of anonymous people doing some daily activity.

Whereas this IS Napoleon. This is his character on display, or at least one viewpoint of his character. It's completely unrealistic and never actually took place in real life, but it shows you who Napoleon was, not what he looked like.

The space shuttle was incredibly expensive and flights on the thing were more expensive than just strapping someone to a rocket and putting them up there. The entire point of the Shuttle was to make space flight cheap due to the vehicle being reusable. This was not ever the case. The Space Shuttle launches cost 20x what they were expected to cost.

The Space Shuttle was also highly compromised by the fact that their original design, which put the space shuttle above the rockets, was rejected by the contractors for being too expensive. This meant the Shuttle could easily be damaged during take off (which happened several times)

Bad design, missed the point. It was a mistake.

Artist here.
What's your point? That portrait is meant to display what kind of person "Thee Fucking Napoleon" was.
While that other one is about peasant life. Of course something well done about Napoleon is going to be more exciting than a painting about the simple life of peasants.

Of course something meant to be exciting is going to be more exciting to look at than something meant to make you feel relaxed.

If you want to see shit art with fucktarded meaning look at >>10479298

besides art has no one meaning. It's meant to do different things depending on whatever the artist feels like. The only difference is in how meaningful it's made to be.

I think Soviet art was supposed to be "for the people, by the people" showing the small things and freedoms in life that peasants could now enjoy, when previously, under the dictatorship of the Tsar who would literally just have people gunned people down in the fucking streets, couldn't.

This painting for example, just shows the peasants that they now control the farm that they were slaves to work on before and thus they actually have freedom and are happy.

This is true. In Stalin's era paintings were more like public information campaigns than actual art. This changed after Stalin. For example all of the great soviet science fiction books and films came during the Brezhnev era.

Yes it is. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Compare that to this godawful piece of over shopped shit

Now look at this
>>10478765

See how all of it flows together. all the lines lead to the color that sticks out the red. Then look at all the trees and shit carefully outling the whole thing. All those moody tones.
This is fucking gorgeous.

Now look at my pic.First thing I found on DeviantArt. Everything clashes, this person is a fucking teenager with an expensive camera and a lot of time on their hands.
What am I suppose to feel or think when I look at this? whats the subject? What fucking planet is this? If there was a subject in the middle it might be an okay frame. But it doesn't have one.

Photography and painting have a lot of overlap in composition and all that shit so it's a perfectly valid comparison.

What a twat.

>In 1990 I became a student. My scholarship was 55 roubles, which was equal to about $87

Of course the course changed during the course of the year, but school starts in September. http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/golosa/ruble.htm gives black market exchange rate for ruble in 1990 as 12 rubles for a dollar.

So instead of $87 his scholarship was $4.50 a month.

This sort of shit is written for the dumb western commie crowd so they can get a dose of their religion from the internet. Same way there are answersingenesis.com and conservativpedia.com for those needing affirmation for their fate that bible is infallible and the world is 6000 years old.

(And Chopin was a major pianist.)

Flying shit, Gilbert and George, 2007, ("Major exhibition", Modern Tate, London)

Obviously the official art in USSRcould be boring, but artists had skills. I mean they knew to do their job. Today it's just wind and wishy-washy talking.

A major collector buys a pot of urine: the prices rocket. Then a degenerate elite who have too much money think it's smart and posh to buy a piece of shit sealed in plexiglas for 1000$ while other try to survive with 2 jobs.

I don't think SU was a paradise on earth. But I know the system we live in is turning to hell. It smells rotten meat.

Going to bed. It's 7:00 am where I live.

The girl in that line up must be related to Yulia Nova.

Soviet workers tarring the roof and chilling. Do they look like people, who do not want to be there.

That picture is from a movie set numbnuts. Based on a real Stalingrad photo though. I was wondering why it was in color though.
