There should be an option to flag Russian propaganda

Does anyone have a recommendation on what to read first by him?

Cool! Thanks for the detailed answer

Does anyone knwo by chance whether this progression followed some sort of “optimization” pattern, I.e. were the armors getting better and better or not really?

Not sure this is the primary issue tbh, most human desires are fabricated anyways by the system, that needs our continuous consumption to function.

The issue in existing socialist countries, primarily the USSR, was that the leadership simply did not care about the population. There is no true socialism under dictatorship.
