But the soviet system was innovating before the 70ies. And even then the USSR produced more innovation than all other post-Soviet countries combined. The real question here is why the USSR still couldn't compete with "muh western world", especially during the last 20 years of its existence.
P.S.: I didn't expect some Acemoglu levels of brainrot from professor Steven Keen. It was disappointing, really…
Then maybe you should consider that a 20 second sound bite doesn't cover the full analysis! Here's some additional readings for you–from Janos Kornai, the genius maverick economists whose work I was paraphrasing:

@Mathew Harris In part because they're getting the attention that longer ones don't! It's also part of a marketing company's successful campaign to market lectures by me where I go into deep detail on these topics.
Very interesting. I remember reading a history journal article which talked about how Stalin's Great Terror acted as an alternative incentive system, which prevented both strikes and corruption (albeit at enormous cost to the populace).
