Wow. What happened in the 90s? 🤔
Post Soviet neoliberal shock therapy was one of the single largest peacetime decreases in life expectancy and quality of life in world history.
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
I prefer the term “dissolved,” because collapse implies it was structural failure and not a deliberate counter-revolt.
Fair enough. I think that’s also the wording used on Wikipedia.
It’s also rather peculiar how income inequality in the capitalist world scaled with the strength and relevance of the socialist world. The libs are only just now becoming aware of the dam in the background that protected the relatively prosperous world they once know.
