[continued from previous message]

in the 50s there were a number of orphans from the war. The mass housing
projects began in the 60s, they were completed in the 70s, and by the 70s,
there were homeless people, but they often had genuine issues with mental
health.

Now let's take a look at what happens after the USSR collapse:

* Life expectancy decreases by 10 years. 7.7 million excess deaths
in the first year.

* 40% of population drops into poverty.

* GDP instantly halves.

* One in ten children now live on the streets. Infant mortality increases.
Was 29.3 in 2003 which is around (current) Syria and Micronesia, 7.9 in
2013. Infant mortality in USSR was 1.92, literally the lowest in the
world.

* 1996 election rigged by the US, Yeltsin sends in tanks to disperse the
supreme soviet.

For an overview of the soviet experiment, watch this brilliant talk by
Micheal Parenti, or read his article, Left anticommunism, the unkindest cut.

Also read this great article by Stephen Gowans, Do publicly owned, planned economies work?. Audio on youtube

a profound discouragement to technical innovation

That is the propaganda. The reality is (as discussed above):

If you follow the Reddit links, then you will find that all of the above statements are supported with factual documentation. None of your statements come with any factual support.

I am happy to continue the debate, but please can we stick to facts only
and leave out the opinion and propaganda?

Note: I am not suggesting that Communism is the ideal. I prefer G.K.Chesterton's Distributism to either Capitalism or Communism.
