>>8528658I've had long conversations with a few folks who fled the collapsed USSR. I have some firsthand story takeaways for you.
Socialism doesn't work, is a dirty word and only helps an oligarchy.
Standing in a line for your government ration food, gasoline and medical supplies is a terrible way to live.
Working for the basics, and I mean BASIC less than nutritious food, inadequate shelter and no wages for the state is bullshit.
Ideas and concepts are just that, doesn't make em real or applicable. I can go on all day about how we should use ice cream for breakfast and it sounds like a good idea, that doesnt make it practical.
Socialism sucks, leads to more death and greed than capitalism. Ask anyone who has escaped the USSR and they will tell you the same.
