What are the deep-seated reasons for the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe?
The essence of the "perfect transition from capitalism to socialism" that we often talk about is the development from "oligarch" state monopoly capitalism to "all people" state monopoly capitalism. The fundamental difference between the two is that the ownership of the dominant state-owned capital has changed. But in essence, there is not much difference between the two. Both of them produce necessary value and surplus value through the operation of capital and the combination with labor, in which the necessary value is directly obtained by the workers themselves, while the surplus value is obtained by the controllers of capital or their entrusted agents.

Based on this condition, let's take a look at the great changes in the Soviet Union and East China. The Soviet Union-East issue, although caused by the political infiltration of western countries, is not the main cause, because the infiltration is two-way, just an external cause, and the external cause can only play a role through internal causes. In my opinion, the economy is still the most basic factor that determines the political direction. Of course, there are many reasons why the economic development of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe lags behind that of the West, including realistic factors and historical factors, but the most important reason lies in the master of state capital.

After the end of World War II, people's livelihood was depressed and everything had to be done. Restoring the economy is the primary task of all countries. However, in just a few years, it entered the Cold War between the East and the West, and the economic development of various countries was seriously affected to varying degrees. The advantage of free capital flow began to play a role in western countries at this time. Through reasonable and normal capital operation, the negative effects brought by national mandatory laws can be effectively alleviated, and the people's living standards in western countries have also been greatly improved and improved. Those "four little dragons" who live in the gap between the east and the west are thriving in economic development.

On the other hand, in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, all state capital is concentrated in the hands of the government. Although there is the advantage of "concentrating on doing great things" under the planned economy system, it is bound to give priority to all available resources for government compulsory behavior and lose the freedom of capital, which is harmful to the general improvement of people's living standards. In addition, some wrong policies implemented by the Soviet Union at that time, such as the establishment of "economic mutual aid associations" in eastern European countries, called strengthening cooperation between countries, actually strengthened economic control over eastern European countries. These measures greatly destroyed the original economic foundation of eastern European countries and further deteriorated the living standards of local people.

The long-term deterioration of the economy will inevitably lead to the inability to improve and improve people's lives for many years. I believe this is also the most important reason why people are generally dissatisfied. This kind of general dissatisfaction, once combined with the political infiltration of the West, coupled with an expectation for the improvement of people's living standards in western countries, is bound to combine into a powerful force, facing the indifference of their own governments (even the people of some countries face the guns and tanks of foreign occupation forces! ), then regime change will be inevitable! This is also the reason why the great changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe happened almost overnight.

The leap of qualitative change is inseparable from the accumulation of quantitative change. If the ruling parties in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries had focused their work on economic development, perhaps great changes would not have happened, perhaps they would have happened in the West, and perhaps ... countless possibilities could not replace history or explain reality.

Look at China's reform and opening up. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the Party and the government began to fully grasp and give full play to the advantages of free capital circulation, the economy began to take off at a high speed, and the people's living standards were greatly improved and improved. After 30 years of development, China has become a world-famous economic power. However, due to the excessive emphasis on the free circulation of capital, it will inevitably bring many negative effects. Problems such as labor disputes, over-exploitation of resources, serious waste and disparity between the rich and the poor are endless. In many places, the ideological trend of "only capital", "only wealth" and "only political achievements" is surging, but the voices of many grassroots people are hard to be listened to and valued by the government, and the people's livelihood problems are not solved at all. Some local governments and party organizations have been seriously divorced from the masses and even stood on the opposite side of the masses! Everything around us, like the early accumulation period of capitalism, is in a state of disorder.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." From quantitative change to qualitative change, the great changes in the Soviet Union and East China are a lesson from the past. Here I can only hope that our party and government can be alert as soon as possible!
