💯 👉"Critics of socialism argue that it is a cop-out to say that the USSR was not socialist. But it seems clear that in practical terms, those running the system were trying to beat capitalism at its own game. They were not only imprisoned in a competitive logic but also bound by its limited horizons.
Of course, this does not tell us what the Soviet economic system was. To pose that question, as some did in the USSR, was to step outside the ruling order and to invite retribution. The job of the economists that Feygin discusses was to help the system work better.
Yet even some of those who were at the center of these “insider” debates could not help wondering exactly what the USSR was. Feygin in particular instances Yakov Kronrod, who spent four decades or more trying to think not only about reform but also about value relations and the question of alienation and exploitation in the Soviet system (David Mandel’s book on Konrod, Democracy, Plan, and Market, is not cited, however).
In the event, the USSR and the wider Soviet-led bloc collapsed, becoming the “ruin” of Feygin’s title. It failed to catch up with (let alone overtake) the West, and it failed to satisfy the aspirations of its own population. The idea of socialism from above, directed by a plan, has not really recovered. When we think, therefore, of going beyond capitalism, we must think about different ends as well as different means.
A bottom-up, participative system might well be messy in different ways, but it would have to engage people. In the USSR, Soviet workers were never the knowing agents of their own fate. They figured only as a constraint..." 👈💯

...#Darwin and #Gorbatchev said the same thing:
adapt or perish.We all know how it went down for the #Roman Republic, but they even had the #TarpeianRock for cases of high treason.
It is quite likely essential to pay more heed to history.
Time is up.2)No, don't lock him up. He can and just might still be president. #TarpeianRock, if guilty.
This is not a drill.

È morto Gorbacëv. E a dimostrazione di quanto siano scemi i social, non è nemmeno nei trending topic.

Gorbachev was a piece of shit not because he managed to destroy USSR, but despite of that. Hope he will be in the same section of hell where his friends Thatcher and Reagan are. #USSR #Gorbatchev #WeCelebrateWhenTheyDie

#Europe | Gorbatchev, le dernier dirigeant de l’Union soviétique est mort
Mikhaïl Sergueïvitch #Gorbatchev est décédé mardi à 91 ans dans un hôpital de Moscou. L’apparatchik communiste qui voulut sauver le système soviétique en fut finalement le fossoyeur. Dernier et seul président de l’Union soviétique, il avait finalement démissionné le 25 décembre 1991, ce qui avait entraîné la fin de l’#URSS et celle de sa carrière politique.

Recent events seem like a fitting occasion to revisit Naomi #Klein's #TheShockDoctrine, in particular Chapter 11: Bonfire of a young Democracy - #Russia chooses the "Pinochet Option" (pp. 218-245).
In 1991 Mikhail #Gorbatchev envisioned the future of his country as a social democracy based on the Scandinavian model, "a socialist beacon for all mankind".
The #USA, the #IMF and of course Milton #Friedman's Chicago Boys preferred a #Pinochet-style dictatorship.
Well. They got it.
