The moon landing was real, not a hoax. Either way, the soviets built socialism, but not in its “final form,” such a notion is silly and draws on Khrushchev’s farcical claims that class struggle was over in the USSR. Socialism was built in the USSR, Cuba, the DPRK, China, Vietnam, Laos, etc. China is achieving its goals, steadily. It is not simply a sacrifice, each day it is continuing along the socialist road.
You have a very metaphysical idea of socialism that goes against dialectics, and thus also allows idealism to bleed in.
Fifty years have passed—why has no one repeated this feat?
Just think how much more advanced technology has become over these 50 years…
Russia and China are already planning to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon by 2030—though there are no humans there yet. China also recently launched a lunar rover—likewise without a human crew.
Meanwhile, since 2014, the U.S. has been relying on Russian services to transport its astronauts into space.
Please answer this question for me: Is it conceivable that a country which flew to the Moon 50 years ago is now unable to find the means to transport its own astronauts into space—and instead asks what is, in essence, its adversary to do so? And pays them money for the privilege? Perhaps it is time to dust off the Apollo program, give it a major overhaul, and stop humiliating themselves before the Russians?

That sounds very sweet… )))
My metaphysics stem from the dark depths of the subconscious; I embrace the shadow—which means I stop denying reality! )))
Comrade, I believe I am communicating with you in English—why don’t you understand me?
These aren’t my fantasies; I lived in the USSR. Right now, I live in an apartment that the state gifted to my parents for their hard work. It’s a 70-square-meter apartment with four rooms and a kitchen. In your view, is that merely a figment of my imagination? )))))
Oh, Comrade—precisely because of your words, I now miss the USSR boundlessly, like a lost paradise!
If you don’t believe what I’m saying, it means only one thing: life in the USSR was fantastic!
Yes, it’s entirely realistic that the US made it to space, and has since then continuously de-industrialized, especially as imperialism has grown.
As for metaphysics, I am referring to the way you are treating the development of socialism itself. Seeing the USSR as the “final” evolution of socialism implies class struggle had ended, and that it is “true” socialism, itself an idealist notion and not a materialist one. When looking at China and the former USSR, both have public ownership as principal, both have dictatorships of the proletariat, both are socialist but suited to their own material conditions.
I believe you have all of these benefits from the USSR. The USSR was indeed fantastic and socialist. Countries are not determined as socialist or not by how closely they resemble the USSR’s socialist path, but by how I defined it above.
We reject metaphysics and idealism because they cause faulty understanding of reality, that’s why we are dialectical materialists.
And I am not seeking ideals; rather, I am presenting the model of society that appeals to me most among those currently in existence.
My opinion is, of course, subjective—but at least it is grounded in real-life experience, rather than in imagination or fantasy.
Yes, there were certainly plenty of problems and shortcomings involved; however, these were not systemic miscalculations, but rather structural flaws—issues that do not require a wholesale reformation of the system.

I recognize the American socialist in you… )))
