Raskolnikov38 posted:oh look from wikipedia The multiplier doesnt tell much if we dont know the original price, and how it compares with salaries of the time. But it seems like a good way to fight food shortage during famine at least. It wouldnt be lucrative to buy more than you eat and sell it in the black market, if the price gap between the rationed and extra amount is high enough

Raskolnikov38 posted:well it didn’t compare well because the polish people’s republic had 2 years of martial law from the discontent over the mismatch between wages and food prices Not that simple, there were also nazi insurgents etc. It was a classic J-curve, things had been improving at steady pace for so long, then things took a small step back and people lost their marbles.

AFancyQuestionMark posted:This isn't really a marxist theory question, but I don't know where else to ask so. What do people think about "all power to the soviets"? As in, the worker-soldier-peasant councils? As a result of the Civil War their self-organizing nature kind of got hollowed out and the USSR went on to lean more heavily into a top-down state beauracracy under the vanguard party. After the defeat of the whites, came the loving nazies. After defeat of the nazies, came United States of America and cold war. Before Cold War could have been won, reactionary elements had already grabbed the power. I think Stalin just died at the worst possible moment, and had he lived longer and had he himself carried on decentralizing the power to soviets e.g. councils, then yeah it may have been better

AFancyQuestionMark posted:I think there was a period in the 20s-early 30s where it could have easily been done. I am asking whether that would have been a good idea or not, and whether that's a good form of government in general or not. Its not good when there are external threats, but its good for peace and prosperity times
