Yeah that's /Liberty/ tier shit
I'm currently engaged in a long standing arguement with a guy on there who thinks that Russia is still a Communist Country and that Yeltsin is just a "Commie Rat" that kept central planning by giving the Buisness to his friends
And oh yeah oligarchs are apparently the same thing as state enterprises because oligarchs bribe public officals

No, the theory wasnt from a capitalist. fuck i wish i could remeber his name. The theory came from a guy who escaped the soviet union and wrote a book predicting its fall like 15 years in advance. and that the fall would actually be a ruse while communism goes into hibernation waiting for capitalism to tear itself apart. as it has post cold war and the free market neoliberal dinosaurs have torn everything apart for profit
Oliver Garcia
This is patriotard nonsense. The Cold War never ended, and it was never really about capitalism vs communism. It was neoliberal globalism vs everyone else, and Stalin's Russia was the only big player organizing resistance.
Look at what the neoliberal gangsters did after the collapse of the SU. The war didn't end for them just because Russia became non-communist. Under the guise of "market reforms" thy looted the nation in the most grotesque fashion, essentially took it over through oligarch frontmen and the criminals around Yeltsin, and only met resistance gradually from 2003. They expanded NATO as far east as possible and behaved in the most aggressive fashion. The forced balkanization of Yugoslavia under the pretext of humanitarianism. Coups and color revolutions.

Okay i found it. it was a book called "new lies for old"
In 1984, Anatoliy Golitsyn, an important KGB defector published the book New Lies For Old,[51] wherein he predicted the collapse of the communist bloc orchestrated from above.
He claimed this collapse was part of a long-term deception strategy designed to lull the West into a false sense of security, abolish all containment policies, and in time finally economically cripple and diplomatically isolate the United States.
Among other things, Golitsyn stated:
"The 'liberalization' [in the Soviet Union] would be spectacular and impressive. Formal pronouncements might be made about a reduction in the communist party's role; its monopoly would be apparently curtailed."
"If [liberalization] should be extended to East Germany, demolition of the Berlin Wall might even be contemplated."
"The European Parliament might become an all-European socialist parliament with representation from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. 'Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals' would turn out to be a neutral, socialist Europe."

In 1984, Golitsyn published the book New Lies For Old,[16] wherein he warned about a long-term deception strategy of seeming retreat from hard-line Communism designed to lull the West into a false sense of security, and finally economically cripple and diplomatically isolate the United States. Among other things, Golitsyn stated:
The "liberalization" would be spectacular and impressive. Formal pronouncements might be made about a reduction in the communist party's role: its monopoly would be apparently curtailed. An ostensible separation of powers between the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary might be introduced. The Supreme Soviet would be given greater apparent power, and the president of the Soviet Union and the first secretary of the party might well be separated. The KGB would be "reformed." Dissidents at home would be amnestied; those in exile abroad would be allowed to return, and some would take up positions of leadership in government.
Sakharov might be included in some capacity in the government or allowed to teach abroad. The creative arts and cultural and scientific organizations, such as the writers' unions and Academy of Sciences, would become apparently more independent, as would the trade unions. Political clubs would be opened to nonmembers of the communist party. Leading dissidents might form one or more alternative political parties.
There would be greater freedom for Soviet citizens to travel. Western and Unitized Nations observers would be invited to the Soviet Union to witness the reforms in action.[17]
The Perestroika Deception
In 1995, Anatoliy Golitsyn and Christopher Story published a book entitled The Perestroika Deception[19] containing purported memoranda attributed to Golitsyn claiming:
"The [Soviet] strategists are concealing the secret coordination that exists and will continue between Moscow and the 'nationalist' leaders of [the] 'independent' republics."
"The power of the KGB remains as great as ever … Talk of cosmetic changes in the KGB and its supervision is deliberately publicized to support the myth of 'democratization' of the Soviet political system."
"Scratch these new, instant Soviet 'democrats,' 'anti-Communists,' and 'nationalists' who have sprouted out of nowhere, and underneath will be found secret Party members or KGB agents."
