US vs Soviet Russia


The United States and the Soviet Union can be very different in ways of their agriculture and the way they practice their methods of agriculture. For instance, the United States has a capitalistic economy; whereas the Soviet Union has a communist economy. In the United States, the government has to regulate people just to make sure that things don’t get out of control, but the people basically get to make their own decisions and get to keep the profit that they worked for that year.

Now in the Soviet Union, the government owns everything. In simpler terms, that means that if you have a single dairy cow, and you take care of this cow and milk the cow every day for a year, the only thing that you basically get out it is that you feel good that you took such good care of that cow, because the government is taking every last drop of milk that you had received from that cow. But as you could imagine, people weren’t very happy with this method, so the Soviet Union’s production rates dropped instead of rising like they hoped it would. But production in America rose extremely, mainly because people were happy with how the government was running things.

So what I’m trying to say is that if you want your production rates to rise and overall citizen moral to stay high, give them something to work for. Don’t just make them work hard their entire lives, and only receive a small amount of money to live off of. Give a man who’s worked hard his whole life something to be proud about!
