[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) The paper was from 1985. Was the CIA correct? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Marginally. The paper analyzes the capabilities as they existed in the 1980s, but doesn't draw strong conclusions as to why that may be. It does demonstrate how reliance on central planning results in inadequaciea when said central planning is not operating well, though. The paper doesn't really mention it but the central planning of the USSR was actively reeling from Brezhnev dying, Andropov dying, and Chernenko either dying or about to die at the time the CIA thing was written. So yeah, correct is an accurate if imprecise way to put it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yeah it’s more a criticism of the ussr in the 80s. Central planning with more tech focus and more democracy would likely not face that specific issue. But also there’s room for shit like kanban communism which definitely wouldn’t have these problems permalink fedilink source parent
