Soviet products might not have been very pretty, but they were made with durability and, indeed, quality in mind. The electrical components from the Soviet era are still working. Any mechanical/metallic stuff is very solid.
Yeah, designs were utilitarian. And they had to make a million of everything. But there was no good reason to aim for low quality.
Counter that with any product of capitalism, huh: buy a shiny thing and wait for it to break in 2 years.
Not trying to glorify communism, but what you said in your comment is complete bullshit mixed with questionable sentiment.
