Those gers invented the first ballistic rocket (V2). The soviets were rounding up any ger rocket engineer they could find and shipped them to the USSR.

So did the US btw and shipped home 1600 ger engineers and scientists including Wernher von Braun the daddy of the V2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun

Did you try to open the thread before June 5th 2020?

Interesting article on poverty in the USSR. I was under the impression that they'd have better safety nets than western societies with their mixture of capitalism and socialism.

The problem here is the totalitarian political system. People who work for the state in the US can criticize the state.

I'm separating economic policy from political policy for the sake of debate. This is purely for intellectual exercise. We know political economy is married.



Pretty damning that capitalism and communism causes about the same amount of poverty in practice.

Yeah Americans did that for sure.

Soviets use soviet scientist.

I view their space program like the Orcs in Warhammer 40k. Lol.

The soviets did exactly the same.

OP drops a bomb then bounces lol

official (oxy)moron thread

okay guys listen. History yeah well just keep it like it is, i shame to the human race. BUT look forwards, a better system instead of the "sad end of capitalism".
in fact, yeah, due that capitalistic "race" with wars etc we claimed the technology whe have now. the one faster, the one slower. in the end, everyone have it now. you guys think only 5 countrys can build nuclear bombs and go out of space? no, in fact like ALL countrys are able to do that. theyre just not allowed or to "poor" to invent that stuff or having the rights to do.

To repeat: I am NOT talking about communism. I am talking about a system with ideas like it. Ofc ppl who invent more work into sencefull stuff should "earn" more not like the ones who use drugs all day and liing under the bridge. totally right. but what if the ppl who invent stuff and do big things just earn "respekt" and "honor", for example the new anti-hiv stuff is called after the one who invent? isnt it worth much more then billions of $, while you know other ppl could use "that money"?

the system i search is about respekt, honor and proud. No need being rich, i need being surrounded by happy ppl. much more worth then $.
if you would all ppl on earth let have the joice between become an honor and respektful person or a sexaddict drugjunky who gets all for free - i bet even then more then 90% would choose the right path. For the beginning ofc there would be more #2 path ones, but over time they will feel such bad, since #1 no need care about those, that those guys dont want be the scum of sociaty... if there will be too much #2 path ones they should get an extra country for behaving like they want - they will delete themselve. ez.



Read Rules. Rule #1, the only rule here thx
+ i am NOT talking about those systems we had already, i want the system we get peace on earth. get creative, dont think about old stuff.



haters gonna hate nn care about you.

I want you guys to solve the problem, which is obviosly the capitalism.. cmon boys youre smarter then shooting up yourselfes... trust me

How do you overcome the moral hazards of distorted demand on essential goods?
