I’ve seen a lot of people ask why the USSR fell and a lot if people go into explaining what happened but not nearly as much exploration into how we can avoid repeating the same mistakes.

So what’s the secret? How do we build something like the USSR again but avoid the same pitfalls that doomed it? How do we avoid repeating history? What have current socialist projects learned from the Soviet Union’s tragic demise? What have current communist movements learned from the failure of the Bolshevik’s project? How have current theoreticians grappled with this question?
