Instead of me lecturing you on the multiple reasons why it fails, just read work written by the famous austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. He should be able to convince you.

I stated it clearly enough that even you could follow. Industry created the boom, and horrible things took place at the time to allow this. After that there wasn't anything communist theology gained in any sort of satisfactory way to support your claims of it being this success story against capitalist countries.
Also you now compare Britain (which was absolutely decimated by WWII bombings by Nazis'and had massive war debt to be paid off). I'm a little bored by your cherry picking facts.

So first you critizise Stalin for being a mass murderer, and then you critizise Khruschev for not being as effective as Stalin.. Great.
By the way i never said that you weren't allowed to know these things in the west, my point is they don't write it in the history books they give our children.
But yet the fact remains, Soviet Economy was gaining on the american untill the 1970's. (in 1970 the average east german was actually richer than the average british, this is undenieable fact look itup

Trying to end a discussion like this proves nothing but your lack of real arguments.
Show me these records.
And the Soviet Union was trying to achieve communism, they didn't have it. It was a socialistic society, just like Cuba is at the moment.
You know what reall fails? capitalists who've too blind to open their mind to other things, than what their society tells them.
Don't you get why the communist movement is rising all over the world?. Because it is needed.

I did read that in the history I studied in year 12 in my books (Australia). I think that is pretty poor if you weren't allowed to know these things. However, there was no special wealth created from this system during this time. It is only the wealth generated from slavery that came from Stalin and then the destalinisation period didn't have anywhere near the production of somewhere like American instrustrialisation.

Ouh, but heres what they don't tell in the history books our children are indoctrinated with: When Khruschev came to power, just after Stalin he began a 'de-stalinisation' of the country. He purged it of Stalin, and moved him away from the Lenin mousaleum. He released thousands og Kulaks, and let people write books critisizing communism. Here started work on the infrastructure, largely done by young idealistic communists, eager to help their country.(and this is the factual version actually)
DrewAWeeks (January 6, 2009 at 9:52 am)
It's only hard to say because you won't believe the figures in the records because it faults your beliefs.
Anyway you can't give an example of any system of communism more effective than this and it failed.

You've just made the most common mistake when trying to prove communism wrong. You've started talking about Stalin. I don't recall myself ever saying anything good about Stalin, so i don't really get why you talk about him.
By the way the number of deaths caused by Stalin is something historians have a hard time agreeing on. It could be a few hundred thousand, it could even only be 70.000. But it could also be millions. Its hard to say.

LOL, only shy 1million

Educated foreigners (from capitalist countries) instructed the labor (which was alot of unpaid slave labor) by prisoners, some merely politicial produced alot of the output. Anyway, industry is to thank for anything good, not the ideology of communism because it was abhorrent and did not fulfill anything close to it's ideological value you percieved.
