I was old enough to live through the fall. What your reductive ignorance excludes is years of intentional effort by the US and allies to collapse the Soviet Union, while they censored their own media to sell capitalism and markets, while also behaving as awful as Soviets and China around the world with their military.

Oh, we agree on this. You of course no better because it worked for you. Survivorship and selection bias. Still at the end of the day, one of billions with no real obligation on the rest of us to provide you healthcare or give a shit if you end up in the ditch, broke. I for one appreciate the America not making me give a shit you exist.

Without outside influence to collapse the Soviet union and Soviets maintaining control of their media telling their people their system must survive, does it still collapse?

Rhetorical question, idgaf you even exist, ignorant ass.

Won't know/show up if you end up broke in an alley eating ass to survive.

That kind of not care.

Thoughts and prayers but you're one of billions of meat suits, statistically irrelevant.
