The Soviet Union was a failure
And it eventually imploded due to its own ineptitude
It imploded when it started to "reform", in the 1980s with Perestroika and Glasnost, to placate the US, with the hope of ending the cold war. The economic troubles began for the Soviets when they started trying to end the cold war and make friends with the United States and its allies. The revisionist forces and capitalists within Russia began eating away at what Stalin had built. The earlier generation of Marxists was 100% committed to the nation and that's why it was so successful from the beginning, until the 1970s. The USSR was dissolved by traitors within the USSR, not because socialism doesn't work, although that's the Western argument. Those who know what actually happened, know that's not true.
However, did capitalism replace feudalism and the kings of Europe overnight? How long did it take the mercantile class to become the powerful capitalist industrialists of the 1800s? It took centuries. The conditions had to be present for capitalism to overtake feudalism and the monarchies of Europe, replacing them with Republics. It didn't happen overnight. So why resort to the line of argumentation that demands socialism replace capitalism overnight, to be a "good system", when you're debating socialists? Do you know why you fall into that logical fallacy? Because you're a fucking ignorant. pretentious, disingenuous retard.
