I think a lot about what could've been if USSR embraced Deng style reforms.

World would be very different, the USSR would be THE most productive country on earth considering it had a head start on China even with the massive destruction caused by the nazi invasion.

Also i think that the USSR foreign policy ultimately did more damage than good to the communist movement worldwide, the chinese mutual development through trade is a much better policy. But then again, without the USSR foreign policy i think the Cuban revolution would've failed.

I do think that Chinese approach is more productive as well.
