    So you have NEVER once in your entire life ever used a plastic container and thrown it into the refuse instead of recycling it?

    It's pretty funny, you managed to prove my point. You find their black and white tv's impressive while the rest of the world is using plasma and LED.

    Had the Soviet's won the Cold War, we'd all be lining up to buy the latest government-made tape decks and black and white tv sets, which would be exactly like last year's models since there would be no one to compete with.

    More bovine excrement!

    Your corporate dystopia INVENTED that plastic that is polluting the planet.

    Duly noted that you could not DENY having contributed to plastic refuse either.

    We SHARE our planet so YOU are just as responsible as everyone else for that plastic pollution.

    they made colour tv sets too in CCCP.

    that is, as of now, but not back then, in the 1970s.

    Western countries were struggling in those days, having crisis after a crisis, on end.

    Rrriigghhtt. The famous 'freedom to fail' and to starve to death, die of remediable disease etc,etc, Your version of "freedom" is bushwa and you know it. Freedom is the ability to do something you WANT to do, not the freedom to die, the most oppressive regime possible offers that.

    And the plastic in the oceans will be your concern once all the plankton dies and we no longer have oxygen.

    And this is a perfect example of the amount of progress we could realistically expect from the government in the year 2020, CRT TV's, "Now in Color!"

    The only reason we have many of the things we enjoy daily is because of capitalism. I'll stick with my LED tv, enjoy your CRT.

    Yes, the freedom to die. You do not recognize Freedom because you have never faced oppression.

    by that logic, Soviets would not have come to produce tv's or audio gear whatsoever and will stick with radios instead.

    It's simply not coming from America. Blame someone else.

    They reproduced items that were innovative creations of people who reside in western countries. It's the distinct lack of research and development on the part of the Soviet government that relegates their product lines to tape decks and crt's.

    If the Soviets had won the Cold War, that's all anyone would have, walkman's and tape decks.

    Complete and utter bovine excrement!

    We produce massive amounts of plastic refuse per year.

    Kneejerk denialism on your part does not alter FACTUALLY DOCUMENTED REALITY one iota!

    Your corporate DYSTOPIA invented plastic that does not degrade and now it is polluting the planet with Americans producing THREE TIMES as much per capital as everywhere else!

    America recycles. Asia tosses theirs in the ocean. But you already know that.

    the US obviously has room for improvement, but we have come a very long way in terms of recycling, air pollution, water pollution, etc. And we still have a long way to go. But Asia and Africa are by far the worst offenders.

    If it's voluntary, it's not socialism. Socialism has a compulsory nature. Farm cooperatives are nothing at all like socialism.
