And a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong

How frustrating. I can't seem to find a paper copy of this book for sale anywhere. There's an archived copy online which seems really interesting: https://archive.org/details/this-soviet-world/page/173/mode/2up

Yea, I don't think it is being sold as a paper copy anywhere, I did however type it up: https://comlib.encryptionin.space/epubs/this-soviet-world/

Thank you for transcribing a better version. Reading over the agriculture section it seems fascinating.

It is a very interesting book. I recommend reading it.

That part about gold being impossible to depose didn't age well. 😢

Well, USSR wasn't really dictatorship of proletariat, but rather dictatorship of party leader(s) and the KGB

The government in USSR very much represented the working class. Maybe actually spend a bit of time learning about USSR instead of regurgitating propaganda points you've memorized?

edit: I love how mad libs of lemmy get when faced with basic historical facts
