Why did Soviet Union break up? What exactly went wrong?
In: 111
Two things went wrong:
Firstly, capitalism is the best way to create wealth, in contrast socialism is the best way to destroy wealth.
Secondly, free markets are superior to central control, which is a characteristic of both communism and facism.
Add in the pressure Reagan and Thatcher deliberately applied to the Soviet system (“Star Wars” and Afghanistan) and it collapsed like the house of straw it was.
