So I learned about OGAS recently, I already know the basics like proposed by Glushkov in 1962, computerized economy, rejected by the politburo, etc. But I want to go deeper, especially about how it could have possibly changed things in areas like corruption and bureaucracy.

What I think is especially interesting is how it fits the idea of scientific socialism and how it would have fixed the information problem, because instead of planners adjusting quotas like twice a year, OGAS could do it constantly and provide the needed consumer goods, by seeing what shoes sell better, what shoe sizes need to be produced more, which less, all obviously while staying in a planned economy.

I am relatively new to actualy theory, so sorry if I got something wrong.

I decided to go Bolsheviks -> Zinoviev -> Molotov -> Kaganovich for this run, but can I get even closer to Stalin?

Shit really went down in class today.

So we have this one girl, woke and politically correct.

She keeps talking during german class, so she gets put in second row, well, shes already pissed and this guy next to her calls his friend zesty, i mean his friend doesnt mind, so who cares, right?

Well, she cares, talks about how its not okay, etc and they argue for like 20 minutes, then, two classmates were acting out a scene from a book in front of class, act 1 scene 4 of Intrigue and Love, everyone is laughing, including the two acting out a more or less romantic scene, the girl, lets call her Hannah, argues louder and louder, everyone looks at her, even the teacher and she runs out mid act, crying, teacher also leaves so theres like 20 minutes of anarchy in class, she cries herself out, stands at the door, smiling, walks in saying she snitched 3 guys who had to stay after class,the funniest part is that there werent consequences for them.

The end?

Wrong!

We sit in physics class and this is friday, 7th hour, usually laid back, so I lean on the desk behind me, say to a friend to stop being so zesty (I made sure shes outside of hearing range), he says "Ref, Ref" (like referee), he tells a friend, who tells Hannah, and they start arguing again, she tells her SYBAU (Shut Your Bitch Ass Up) and she goes outside to cry again, this time without the teacher following, after class she approaches the teacher, says theres been a serious incident and propably snitched them again, even though hes a chill teacher and doesnt give a fuck.

And based on what I noticed, no one sided eith her, even her friends didnt give a fuck (if they still are friends)

The most memorable line was her calling out the guy for calling the Friend Zesty, she said something about zesty implies hes gay, but he isnt gay.

I even formed the Zest-Gang with some friends, our secret handsign are both hands forming a Z.

Would you say the great purge was justified?

My USSR knowledge is from HoI4, so sorry if I'm wrong.

As far as I know, there was something about an anti-soviet conspiracy, including people like yagoda, also something about many monarchists/capitalists/fascists/etc. remaining.

So would you say the great purge under Stalin was justified?
