I understand that there was still much good about the Soviet/Eastern Bloc system and shortages and all didn't always happen and revisionism would eventually cause all sorts of issues. However, I'm looking for a detailed answer (feel free to send links too) to what actually caused the infamous economic struggles that many people faced (which apparently isn't just completely bourgeois propaganda) in the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact nations (particularly in their later years).

The comment you got on the other one sums it up pretty well but going to link this article another comrade on here shared at one point since it goes more in depth and has sources.
The whole write up is basically explaining why the Soviet Union fell and the various causes.
There’s some books that go more in depth I have in my want to read list that I’ll edit in later once I have a chance although I think there almost all in the article as sources.

What actually caused the economic inefficiencies (shortages, stagnation, lines, etc.) of the late USSR and Warsaw Pact?
