    Plenty of capitalist countries did recover, so that just one more argument against communism.

      Completely different situations. One country had to recover from complete devastation and bootstrap everything from scratch, could not rely on anyone and had to fund and support allies with that.

      While other European countries were barely touched it could benefit from US funding which was in itself completely untouched and benefited from the collapse of the entire capitalist competition worldwide.

        The ussr was much less devastated than Germany, and it didn’t support allies, it received support first and exploited colonies later.
