Its not about the Soviet. The author George Orwell is a self professed socialist too. Has praised communes from greek cities, to India's caste system, to Spanish Anarchists, as superior to western liberalism. Quote

lazybugger Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 The Soviet history is interesting because it worked for a while. It worked in educating everyone, making sure everyone had nutritious food in their belly, made tremendous scientific progress in science (though not consumer products), etc. You'll be surprised how many well qualified people exist in the regions of the then USSR. But it failed politically, and economically. Quote
