Alright, where are the anti capitalist tankies defending this?

This has little to do with socialism/capitalism and more with that fact that the economy was centrally (terribly) governed and most of the products were exported to the "friend nation USSR"

75% of sugar output exported to the Sovs while the citizens of Poland 'enjoyed' sugar rationing.

75% of sugar output exported to moscow and leningrad, you think the people of anywhere outside the immediate vicinity of those two cities got to see any of it? Let alone anywhere east of the Urals?

They are in the same place where pro-capitalist liberals are when people talk about food insecurity in today's West, and let's face it, the rest of the non-Western world.

You do realize that all nations ration as necessary right?

Here in the USA I can buy whatever I want, even if it's bad for everyone.

Here in the USA we are aware that they aren't rationing. You don't think it's necessary?

“In the 80s Poland was rationing”

“All countries ration when they need to”

“Im currently not rationing in the US”

“That’s because the US isn’t currently rationing {link to previous US rationing occurrences}”

“I know that”

So explain what relevance that has to the discussion
