> Soviet output was so poor in quality 

The USSR produced first-rate military and aviation equipment, as well as some 
world-class science. So did the US Empire at its zenith. That's not a reason to 
be nostalgic for the nomenklatura or US military Keynesianism; it *is* a reason 
to historicize both regimes.
