    USA: becomes first world power in the span of 200 years, having come out of WW2 unscathed and able to lend money to the whole of Europe for purchasing US goods and services.
    USSR: becomes second world power in the span of three generations, having to industrialise in 1917 starting from nothing, losing lots of infrastructure and 20 million citizens during WW2.

    Libs on lemmy: communism destroys the economy.
