The Soviet Union appears in GritCult's posts as an economic cautionary tale and as the template for a Cold War he believes never really ended. Nearly half of the 174 posts date from 2018 (81), when he argued economics on the timeline; later the USSR becomes a lens for reading America.

Views

The economic verdict was fixed early and never revised. Arguing against Marxist economics in 2018, he summed up the result of removing the profit incentive as “space monkeys but potato famines” ^[1]. Seven years later the same image returned almost unchanged: the USSR could send men to space and raise massive militaries but could not make enough bread to feed people, and he invoked it to call the US government buying 10% of Intel a sign of Sovietisation ^[2]. The Soviet Union is useful to him because it was competent at the wrong things.

The second use is the Cold War, which for GritCult is a present condition rather than history. In 2018 he predicted that the second cold war would be more exciting than the first ^[3]; in 2022 he reminded followers that no one believed him in 2018 when he said a cold war had arrived ^[4]. In his telling the new front is technology, with intelligence agencies and even companies running psychological operations, because “the entire world is a battleground” ^[5].

The collapse is the part he returns to as a warning. A 2023 post recalls that in 1991 the life savings of many vanished, the accounting of ownership was lost and most were left with nothing, before asking “Sound familiar?” ^[6]. There is some mourning too. He calls Soviet science fiction “an abandoned future” ^[7] and describes the killing of heritage and culture as one of the greatest tragedies of the Soviet era ^[8]. Where admiration appears, it is for the ambition, never the system.

Recurring themes

• space monkeys but potato famines
• the profit motive as the missing ingredient
• a second Cold War already under way
• the 1991 collapse as a warning for the West
• Soviet space utopianism as a lost future
