    these things were not because of some economic power disadvantage or even connected to it

    Ok, the conversation is over then, you’re just denying political and economical concepts such as colonialism or industrial development. Can’t have a serious conversation with someone who denies reality.

    The Soviet Union lifted 300 million people from feudal poverty and a life expectancy of 30 years, to the second most powerful industrial power on earth, without exploiting the global south in the process. It had GDP growth rates of 10% for decades, and even when growth slowed down the material conditions of people kept improving at a faster pace than the material growth of the country.

    Please try to educate yourself on imperialism and colonialism if you give the slightest shit about the billions of exploited of the world.

      Your reading comprehension skill means you can’t have a serious conversation period.

      I won’t try a third time.
