>>486950>That's not true at all. The average soviet citizen waited decades for housing and automobiles while party members got the best houses and cars right away.You are overstating your case a little, the delays weren't that bad. However you are not entirely wrong the soviet system didn't do particularly well for consumer items. You definitely can't organize the production of consumer goods like heavy industry.

You would prefer that everyone has a bicycle rather than have a Mustang and let your neighbor have a Ferrari? It's true that Soviet cars were boring and less sophisticated, but the Soviets had amazing public transport. I'm not convinced this difference was caused by economic ideology. Russia is geographically enormous and maintaining a nice road system that would have gene
