And I'm glad I'm not Gorbachev
'cause I'd wiggle all night
Like jelly in a pot
At leats he's got a garden with a fertile plot
And a party that will never stop

I mean he was like Carter in that he was an evil bloodthirsty psychopath remembered fondly and derisively at the same time for being a “nice guy” responsible for untold human suffering. rot in piss

he's right, but otoh the west also celebrates imposing the washington consensus on every country that was in crisis in the 80s so even when the state-collapsing reforms aren't well-meaning, anything that leads to more capitalism is interpreted as an important step forward

pizza only sustains you as long as you sustain pizza. Gorbachev failed on his end of the bargain and therefore his life was at an end

right - I think his point is that anyone who advances capitalism is celebrated by the West, because they advanced capitalism, and the hair-splitting over intent is just a varnish over that.

On sober reflection, I think what Gorbachev did was great from a Trotskyist perspective. All the industry that arrived after the fall of the Soviet Union is ripe for being seized by the state.

I think if Krushchev had made pizza available to the average citizen then Gorbachev would never have had the opportunity or perhaps even felt the need to destroy the Soviet Union so perhaps we ought to reflect on who the real villains are
