Actually, your last post was FINALLY non-circular. The pitt.edu report was the first piece of evidence you provided that supported your point of view that Russia sucked after Stalin.
Like I already said, it's an extremely weak report, as it doesn't explain how/why it arrived at its conclusions, but at least its conclusions align with yours, so I'll give you five shrooms if you provide me a link to where you had previously presented that report.

All boiling down to USSR sucked with and without Stalin, nothing was rosy red, except maybe the communal bathrooms in the communal apartments of which you shared with strangers.
that you CAN learn from NZ in which free housing is provided, though it leads to nasty ghetto like areas and general poverty, I consider myself well versed in that aspect, thus I sympathize with our Soviet friends and black youth in the U.S.
What did we learn? it sucked hardest with Stalin, scoring a 100/100 on the suck-o-meter and about a 80/100 after Stalin.
Not really something you should be out advocating for, not that you are, but some people look at 'free housing, free healthcare, free food' and think that's all there is to it, I wouldn't assume that of you, of course.

I didn't change the deal. You kept insisting you had provided examples, and I insisted you didn't, and offered five shrooms if you "Tell me specifically what non sarcastic real example of how things sucked after Stalin you already provided"
When you couldn't find an example, you did more research and posted the pitt.edu report, which is what I had been asking for all along.

We already discussed that and how you misrepresented what the report actually said. I even pulled out excerpts to show you were lying about it.

Did you post these before or after I offered five shrooms? If it was before my offer then I'll give you 5 shrooms. If it was after, then it didn't meet the terms of my offer.

I showed you an example of the healthcare sucking in the report listed above, I even isolated the exact text.
That is, by definition, something 'sucking' AFTER Stalin.
I have also further included MORE sucky things AFTER Stalin, including
- Food lines
- Housing
- Poor GDP
- Low labor productivity
- Inefficient farm production, despite more labor and land
- Limited food access, aside from basic staple foods due to lack of consumer sector investment
Shrooms.
please.
You're not good with deals, not very trust worthy, starting to feel a bit ripped off, like I made a deal with Trump.

I showed you an example of the healthcare sucking in the report listed above, I even isolated the exact text.
That is, by definition, something 'sucking' AFTER Stalin.
Here's what your report said about healthcare:
"Although the Soviet health care system is extensive (37 physicians per 10,000 compared with 19 per 10,000 in the United States) and available to everyone free of charge, the quality of service is uneven. The general public is served by a system of hospitals and outpatient polyclinics that provide a relatively low standard of care. According to several observers and emigres, drugs are difficult to find, hospitals are overcrowded and dirty, and a patient's family must often bring food from home to supplement the hospital diet."
So more physicians than the US, crowded hospitals similar to what we see in the US, and families often bring patients food so they don't have to eat crappy hospital food. Again, that's not that bad.
Since we're not seeing eye to eye, let's ask people reading this how they feel. I'll do what they feel is right.

Poll is useless.
this is a forum dominated by left-wing supporters, you'd be insane to think they find the soviet union 'sucky' because they think like you do:
Free healthcare.
Free food
Free housing
lots of jobs
Why on fucking earth would they vote in a poll about evidence going against all of that?

Not that bad?
fuck me side ways, they'd literally have to be executing the disabled for it to tip over your measure of 'not that bad'.
and now you're comparing to the U.S
which I was asked not to do, because apparently everyone was doing poorly compared to the U.S at the time, so I wasn't permitted to use it as a marker.
This is fucking retarded lol

There is NO evidence against ANY of that. 
And I've agreed that the US was better; my whole point was that communism wasn't that bad.

No, not "low standard of care". "relatively low standard of care". Meaning not as good as the US. You can only make your point by lying.

You were permitted to use it as a marker. And I agreed that Russia wasn't as good as the US. I simply noted that Russia was better than many other capitalist countries, that's all. Stop making things up.

The final poll after two days shows that 5 people feel you didn't make your case that Russia sucked after Stalin, 0 felt you did. So you're not getting ripped off, even though Trump is ripping us off.
There's no question that US capitalism was better, but communism after Stalin wasn't all that bad. And that's based primarily on talking to people who grew up in the Soviet Union and who now live in California today, rather than basing it on US propaganda.

Yep there is a quite a large russian immigrant community in my city. I've talked with them about it they said it was fine. Sure there weren't 499 different kinds of cereal but people survived just fine. Arguably the Russian education system is also world class they did beat the US into space after all and still to this day are a leader in that field.

Amazing, a poll on a left-wing dominated forum turned out predictably.
I wonder if a poll of California would turn out majority democrat.
Russia sucked after Stalin, acknowledge it or not, it doesn't change the evidence.

Well the US has a vested interest in making the USSR look bad because there economic system is antithetical to our way of life. I'm not saying government control of the economy was good just that it was not like Mordor as US propoganda portrays it as. If given a choice I would want to to live in the US with some minor changes.

Yeah but i dont have the requisite gray matter to see that much gray area.
US good. USSR bad. Capitalism good. Communism bad. Why does it need to be any more nuanced than that?

And I never once looked at propaganda.
I looked at the fact of reality.
it sucked, sucked harder than the U.S and sucked in general, as the evidence suggests.
I'm not insinuating it was a life or death struggle day in day out, not insinuating it was the worst place on earth.
Just that it sucked and its model is not one people should consider following or implementing because of some perceived injustice in their own country, like the U.S.
I'm sure people have fond memories of the time, I do of my childhood ghetto and friends that didn't mean it was all good, some shit sucked, some shit didn't, if you asked me I'd say it was "fine", people obviously remember good things rather than bad things.
