And the USSR collapsing and the effects it had on Cuba after they adopted it proved him right.
Why would that be true? I dont really view the collapse of the USSR as really being about the collapse in material conditions - there is a reason why the collapse of the USSR is seen as a big deal due to the shock it did to the at least livable conditions prior to the rug being pulled out.
I always saw the USSRs collapse more to bad foreign policy honestly, overextending into Afghanistan was the primary one but id be interested to hear otherwise.
I dont think this necessarily vindicates his view on those specific merits
If it was global disarm the whole thing and just keep nuclear research as an energy thing, no one should have that much destructive power.
We should follow the Sankara line, once the revolution is complete, non-violence. Otherwise why did we fight? To put on the boot?
