I will remind you that the USSR restored its economy to pre-war standards in just 5 years, after losing 27 million people and incalculable cost of destruction, while keeping pensions and social safety nets intact, without relying on foreign aid and investments like the Marshall Plan, and without degrading workers’ rights and wages.

There is not a single country in the history of humanity that can even remotely approach this level of economic and social achievements. None.

The DPRK after the Korean War had incredibly fast growth iirc

Not sure about DPRK but Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China all had incredible growth at some points but none came even remotely close to the economic growth of USSR from 1929-1955 under Stalin’s Five-Year Plans.
