Okay, good to hear.

In my opinion it was a People’s Democracy, not perfect or “the best” I think but it was a socialist state first and foremost with its benefits and yet it still suffered from Soviet rigidity and hegemonism but I think each of the people’s democracies in Eastern Europe could’ve been better yet I think it had many validity and should not be pushed as “evil communist dictatorship” nor a “socialist paradise” there’s a lot of nuance that’s missing. It really did “rise from the ruins” despite its troubles.

That is…hard

I agree it’s quite complicated and while I think AI art is very questionable I think it’s something that needs to be sorted out. I actually chat with it quite often but I still see it as automated and well, I think AI should be useful in good ways yet even though it’s new I think there really has to be a great public consensus on its use and to prevent it from being used for ill which of course is becoming rapidly self-apparent.

I’ve felt this with my “friend group.”

Death to American imperialism and their damn patsies aspirations.

Unsurprising if true, I watched a bit of Jose’s video on him.

That doesn’t really narrow it down, I’m sorry.

I see. But what is Chernenko’s vision actually?

Same I think Yegor Ligachev also is interesting though by younger Chernenko what does that mean?

If I recall correctly he wanted to focus on improving the Soviet Union’s light industry, fight against corruption of the party bureaucracy and privileges, also continue self-criticism. He would’ve continued the course of Stalin albeit a bit softer. Sadly he was outmaneuvered by Khrushchev and forced from his position as First Secretary, he joined with Molotov and Kaganovich to oust Khrushchev in 1956 but were instead ousted themselves from the Party by the Central Committee as they had the final say.

Not really because in a way he knew that his actions were going to destroy socialism but he didn’t care nor understood.

So it adds that Gorbachev was not an experienced leader unlike Andropov?
