It is a society built on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his work".It is a society built on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."A government system led by a single party having complete power, oppressing any opposition.It is an economic system controlled by private owners in their interests.I don't know.
What do you think is the prime cause of the problems and poverty in socialist countries? A corrupted government.A socialist / communist ideology.Isolation from the rest of the world.Total control of all industries by the government.Unequal distribution of profit between business owners and workers.
Propaganda posters were widespread in the USSR and other socialist countries. What is your attitude towards displaying them in the museum of the USSR? I am not familiar with such posters enough to answer.These posters only teach great things, such as love for motherland, preserving peace, work productivity, responsibility for one's actions, healthy life style, etc. It would be interesting to see more of these posters in the museum.Despite promoting a criminal communist ideology, these posters are valuable historical artifacts, so they must be presented in the museum. Without them the exhibition will not be complete. Moreover, many of these posters are art masterpieces.Soviet posters are typical propaganda of the communist system and should not be presented in the museum.Propaganda posters can be presented in the museum, but very selectively.
The topic of the USSR is quite controversial. What attitude towards Soviet Union should prevail in the concept of the museum? The museum should present mostly positive aspects of life in the USSR.The museum should concentrate on revealing the crimes of socialism and flaws of the system.Both positive and negative aspects should be presented equally.
