Planned economies succeded in industrilizing agricultural societies faster than thought possible. Both Russia and China is better of than shitpoor african countries that embraced western democratic loans and reforms. Planned economies has also succeded in erasing homelesness, starvation, analfabetism etc. Has any western democracy succeded in this? And why are you debating in thread called communism if you are not prepared to discuss communism? That seems retarded to me.
So, when western democracies fail that is labeled as mistakes while communist countries are failures by nature. Western democracies have been a LOT more imperialistic (intervention, couping, seling arms to insurgents etc) than communist countries which has tended so far to be quite isolationistic (and yes i know about afghanistan and tibet, thats two and to that i say algeria, vietnam, chile and ... afghanistan. and im couting post ww2 for brevity). It is or have been shitty to live in the US if you are a commie, a member of the socialist workers union, any black activist group (yeah, martin luther king included), christian organisations with a to radical antipoverty rethoric, antiwar student organisation etc. This is called political opression and its staple not mistake.
