It's funny how you can ask a thousand liberals why the USSR lost the Cold War and not one will mention the Nazis obliterating everything west of the Volga. (hexbear.net)

I had this question as a written discussion in sociology class and I really did the Putin 4000 year history rundown, was pretty funny how everyone else did exactly as you said and put it all on blue jeans and central planning.

Liberals are idealists who believe in a titanic moral struggle between good and evil, in their mind the USSR “losing the Cold War” was a divine punishment from the cosmos for their negative gommulist 1984 karma. Quite literally magical thinking
