I told you I was not exaggerating when describing things, you didn't understand that apparently. About "corruption" - it wasn't corruption, it was pretty formalized and normal what I describe.

Any stats about USSR and shares of income, inequality and such are bullshit from the start. I've described how it worked for individuals, it also worked the same for organizations, there was such a thing as "funds", a permission to purchase from another organizations something in a certain quantity.

You don't seem to get it worked like in some adult scout camp or whatever with some coupons - collecting coupons wouldn't help you buy more or less soda, because you were permitted to buy soda only in a specific place at specific time and with specific frequency.

Or in the military, or in prison.

Soviet ruble wasn't real money. That's why they jokingly called coupons for "special distributors" (a kind of stores, something available only to the elites) the "real rubles".

The elites didn't formally own anything - well, neither they do in Russia today, but they do control that property and use it freely.

My bloodline on the Volga German side did undergo an attempt, it's rather chilling to look at digitized documents of half a village's male population executed for something like "hiding grain" or "being a Japanese spy".

My bloodline's male part on the Jewish side mostly vanished on the frontlines.

rule of Kulak

This word is a propaganda marker. Such a thing never existed. It was invented to justify mass repressions.

and noble landowners

There were no noble landowners in 1914 anymore, it was approaching something like US south at the same time.

Anyway, no, it wasn't feudal by 1914. It wasn't feudal even by the turn of century. Again, similar to US south.

Education became free for everyone to the highest level

Have you met people who received that education? There are two kinds - those who were taught in universities basically by those nobles you seem to vilify, and those like my grandma on my paternal side and the majority of those "female engineers" you've read about. The latter is not all that impressive.

Soviet LikBez program was more or less about training technicians to work as bad engineers. Training as in "training dogs". Because the industrialization required some kind of engineers.

And the fact that you’re here on Lemmy, instead of breaking your back for your local exploitative English/French/German company

Why didn't this happen in Finland?
