I tried to explain that you can't compare countries as if they were rival fish bowls. South Korea, as Marty Hart-Landsburg points out, was the beneficiary of Western imperialist largesse. Soviet Russia was subjected to 70 years of war, blockade and subversion. I suppose the only analogy with a fish bowl is if you imagine somebody urinating into one. Naturally the fish will die. That is what happened to the Soviet Union. Louis Proyect (http://www.panix.com/~lnp3/marxism.html)
