Science, Science and Marxism

[Chris Doss]

jks -- There's no comparison with Soviet goods, none. Soviet TV sets
regularly 
exploded; the smart purchaser kept a bucket of sand by the set. There was a 
actually a TV show under perestroika that was based on making fun of 
worthless goods. A handful of Soviet products, machine tools and the like, 
were world market quality. For the rest, Soviet industry made stuff that was

unmarketable.

They built pretty good MiGs and Kalashnikovs and space stations. I think
priorities had something to do with this.

Didn't the USSR sell cars to Latin America?
