While no doubt corrupt, I seriously doubt the USSR was so corrupt the entire system collapsed, though I will freely admit that is played a role, along with many other factors. And by the way, that corruption would negatively effect the economic situation of the USSR, which was further exasperated by the policies of, guess who, the Reagan administration.
All countries suffer from corruption. Look at China, a nation awash in corruption and graft, I highly doubt they'll collapse any time soon, they're certainlly not showing any signs of it. And if you think the American economy is suffering the way it is in large part because of corruption at the highest levels of US government, which you seemed to imply in your previous post, then I'd be genuinely surprised if you could tie your own shoes or walk down the street without having to wear a helmet.
Does Don Letts have a history degree? What about some experience in economics or international politics? Well, then what makes him a qualified source of information? Because he makes fucking documentaries? I guess Michael Moore should be considered as an unbiased bastion of knowledge then.
Don Letts is just an old, useless punk-rocker with opinions as biased as yours or mine. Does anyone actually give a flying fuck about what he thinks?

He swings and he misses again
We put a massive pipeline in there in the 70's during the oil crisis,and expanded it in the 80's
Maybe you should try doing some reading of your own
Oh and Don Letts was never a punk rocker,even though he did films for the Clash
He was a Reggae dude,swing and a miss again
Your right beligerence does not equal knowledge,and if you care to share anything but beligerence any time soon,let us know
