The failure to raise productivity in the East is the reason socialism in failed.
Why so?
The gerontocracy prevented change.
Much idle piffle is talked about the Soviet Union. Most of it originates in Germany which carefully monitors the world socialist movement as do all nations in decline or those after a hiatus.
Fools,fools,fools...
Do they understand nothing?
The history of modern economics is littered with the corpses of once powerful empires and thriving nation-states redolent with wealth and well-earned prestige.Gorbachev was the only one who told the truth openly to the CPSU.
Without improvements to productivity the Soviet Union was lost,he told them.
He too fell victim to the winds of change as do all rulers.

SPALTSAMKEIT. "Technische Begabungen".
One thing that was as untrue in the Soviet Union as it is in Russia today is talk of "raising the cultural-scientific level" in isolation from the world market (Mikhail Gorbachev,Speeches and Writings, 1986, Progress Publishers,Moscow).
Russia has only relatively recently received limited technical support from the US on satellite and dual-purpose technology under the SDI technology-sharing arrangements agreed to in 1987 to build mutual trust and assurance. Those arrangements were entered into on an equal and fair basis by both parties to harness then moods for peace, change and rapprochement .
The failure of the offers of "joint industrial ventures" with Western firms?
What was missing until 2005 was electro-mechanical technology transfers from Germany as a token of contrition for the unprovoked attack on the USSR in June 1941. Russia suffered a profound break in its economic development caused by the resulting war.
It would seem that peace has finally broken out between the Great Powers thirty years after the end of the Cold War.
Russia should abandon navel-gazing while remaining assured of its place among the nations and join in scientific-technical research and technical exchange with
the Western world. One step is to make student placements in Western firms.The road away from the world market is the path to economic insignificance and a much diminished status so PERK UP,RUS . The future is a lot less bleak than the past.
Peaceful cooperation,therefore,Russia. Mutual tolerance. Mutual respect. Keep along the path of the mixed economy,Vlad, that's why you were PUT IN.

I cannot help but see in modern Disco Tex Russia a weakened military power but a much better country.
The war and China's bellicose military preparations represent a lesson forgotten of the futility of armed conflict and the fatuous certainties of big gusts of hot air,not from military leaders,their hearts aren't in war in the age of the nuclear weapons possessed by all major powers,but from politicians such as Biden. These gusts of hot air are coming from imperialist leaders who have realised that the limits of economic development have been reached and that the world stands poised on an ecological precipice.
Time for fresh thinking about industrial ways and means not 'clear' thinking or 'new' thinking.
Time to set economic limits,not as Parnell claimed. On his plinth,it states,"Let no man set a boundary to the march of a nation..". That led only to complete desolation and the departure of three million more Irish people before their governments began to come to terms with reality.
National industrial bases might perish on the rock of international competition but let little Pablo not go to the big city. Let him climb up the mountain like his father and forefathers and grow his coffee beans and maize and peas and beans and husband his chickens,goats and pigs. Let us have done with constant international modernisation now,too. The limits have been reached just as Ireland's 'industrial miracle' has died. Time for integrated,limited and ecologically restricted development not the bright lights of the big city.
