What mistakes did the USSR make, that China didn't make, that caused the USSR to break up into 15 pieces?

Asked by EgaoNoGenki (1141 points ) March 8th, 2010

What caused the USSR not to fare as well as China?

Or is it a “life expectancy” issue when sooner or later, the government is doomed to fail? The USSR survived 74 years, a typical human being’s lifetime.
