Yes correct the only people who had enough money to scoop up entire industries in the post soviet crisis were unsurprisingly the exact people who had been successfully bleeding the soviet system dry.
People like to say the Soviet Union was inefficient and that's why they failed and communism is bad.
Those people really don't like to acknowledge that capitalist countries instantly started a war on every front possible and attacked the Soviet Union since its inception.
Because Capitalists will always choose to force monopolies instead of allow competition to threaten them. And that goes for monopolies of ideas as well.
Yes and also central planning seems inherently bad to me. If you've ever had the pleasure of listening to your boss's boss's boss describe what they think you do, it's like a game of telephone. There's a famous example of a laundromat that replaced its machines one year and wound up with a bunch of scrap metal so central planning factors this into the economy and now the laundromat is buying scrap metal on the black market to fill quotas. Just absolute worm brained shit because the people higher up in the hierarchy don't know shit about how to run a laundromat.
Cool me explaining history shouldn't make you idiots rage downvote lmao
