    What would you call the military industrial complex of CCCP?

    Edit: I love that one reply is claiming it’s self defense, the other is claiming they’re capitalist

      Necessary to prevent invasions by imperialists and capitalists who feel threatened by successful socialist models or who are looking to exploit other countries.

      Imagine how much more they could have accomplished if they didn’t have to fear the very real threat of foreign invasion. Remember, they were invaded by foreign powers shortly after the revolution in 1918.
