This graph seems misleading if I'm reading it correctly. This shows the relative rate of growth is faster than other nations. But I'm not even sure how that works because the results vary wildly according to the range of years you filter. Either way, the actual GDP per Capita for the USSR was lower than basically every developed nation throughout its history.

Hakim has some videos explaining why socialism and communism are better.^[Socialism Is Better Than Capitalism...Right?]^[Socialism is just better, scientifically]

Either way, the actual GDP per Capita for the USSR was lower than basically every developed nation throughout its history.

Sources?

I agree that Communism is better than Capitalism. I didn't say otherwise. Source is the same as the original poster's.
