    No, they were robbing and killing everyone who even slightly reminded “the bourgeoisie”, “to build an equal society of workers”. They also sold whatever they could abroad (they sold a fucking Alaska!), and villagers who stopped being serfs less than a century before, became modern slaves who couldn’t leave their kolhoz (farming cooperative).
    Edit: the big sale also involved grain, which led to starvation

    And that USSR never got to Communism, it was a socialist state with plan economy, that promised people that “one day we’ll be able to move away from this imperfect system to some real cool utopian stuff, we just have to work hard for 20 more years”. And it was 20 more years each year until USSR fell apart. So, nobody ever lived in a true communist state.





  • IPS matrix screens were kinda ok even in 2007, when I was selling them, but they had a super shitty reaction time, so everything had quite visible trails. That was the time when a good CRT was still a professional choice. But now, and for the last 10 years or so, IPS became much better, and kept their great color palette, so there are zero reasons to look elsewhere, a standard midrange monitor does the job. And if you want even less trouble, just buy a designer a used imac - that’s an almost complete workplace, and apples retina screens are also IPS. This is what several development (mobile, web) companies I worked in did.
    Well, you can go fancy and buy new ones, but the used ones are in abundance - rich mac fanboys switch to every new model that comes out
