Enough about the bad, what was GOOD abot the Soviet Union?

182. If percentages aren't relevant... then please communicate that fact to all of corporate America...

... because percentage increases in sales and so on are the lifeblood of corporate number crunchers.

I am willing to concede that PERCENTAGES are idiotic if you are willing to concede that the entire US economy is idiotic, however.

Whaddaya say? Are we agreed?

Care to provide a link to this Alexander What's-his-face that you're going to use as a source? I'll consider reading something you've linked to... but if I have to do the research to support your argument, then your argument is FAIL.

And I disagree with your assessment that "except maybe that they didnt't{sic} kill more people" is the only good thing about the Soviet Union... in fact I wish they had killed more Nazis, but they were working with limited resources as a result of having been embargoed by the entire world for a couple of decades... so they couldn't kill all the Nazis that the US would later see fit to inculcate into their political & scientific operations. Good for Nixon and Truman and their ilk, bad for the people of the world who would be victimized by increasing US imperialism.

(No point in doing the work to determine percentages of world population oppressed by US imperialist policy in comparison with Soviet "imperialist" policy... I use the same word for the sake of pretending that there is some degree of equivalence... vs. Nazi imperialist policy. You don't believe in percentages, because they don't support your argument... and accuracy of relativities is not so important to you, if the unwillingness to acknowledge the usefulness of percentages is any indicator, as the rhetorical usefulness of your own bombast, anyway.)
