"Hard economic and historical data" with no sources, that sure inspires confidence.
I'm talking about any elections they've held. You know, the ones where you were only allowed to vote for one party or fuck off.
I don't really see how it's possible to be critical of Soviet socialism without acknowledging Lenin ruined it the moment he decided to keep Bolsheviks in power.
Can't provide you the exact pages right now, but my sources are:
-Robert C. Allen's "Farm to Factory: a reinterpretation of the Soviet industrial revolution"
-Alec Nove's "An economic history of the Soviet Union"
-Albert Szymanski's "Human Rights in the Soviet Union" and "Is the red flag flying"
-A. Zveriev's "Lo que recibe el trabajador soviético además de su salario"
