I mostly agree that Stalin's economic policies were detrimental to USSR. Even though the living standards generally improved slightly, so many crops were sold from the farms that there were not enough left for the people. The food produced was even less than Tsar's time up to NEP. This resulted in a famine that left 5-6 million people dead. Additionally, there was very little focus on consumer goods so even though there was 0 unemployment, the people could not buy any necessary materials with the money they earned. Many people were also overworked due to the policies and some even turned to work sick. Even if the farmers did not comply with the policies, they were killed or sent to the gulags. Despite the fact that the country benefited as a whole, many people suffered because of the policies. Hence, based on the scale of how many people were killed and tortured, his economic policies were detrimental.

Elaborate more about economic connections. You only said that it is important and makes the Singapore it is today .

POLITICAL CONNECTION

I think that the political connection is the most important because it needs good relationships with other countries. Without these good relationships, Singapore would not be able to trade with other countries. For Singapore, it is necessary that we are able to trade with other countries as our land is infertile to grow any fruits or food. Thus, we need to trade with other countries to get food or other goods.
