Is this how they keep the shelves full?

In the USSR they always said they had lots of money but they couldn't buy anything with it because the shelves were empty.

After WWII, soviet caloric intake was higher than the U.S.

Great, but ittelevant to any point I was making. I must have stepped.into the ideologically frail part of Lemmy.

Explain how, exactly, the response was irrelevant to your point. After all, your ideology is strong and infallible.

It's not irrelevant, the idea that "communism is when no food" is wrong because they ended famine in a region where that was common.
