they were failed experiments to produce actual communism. They were very intent on doing so and they openly preached communism so we saw them as communists. Which they were. They just didn't have the ability to fulfill their vision. In part cause it was a poorly thought out vision.

Not to say they are necessarily what a communist regime has to look like. They're just the biggest and most prominent examples of nations that tried to create Marx's utopia.

It's nonsense to suggest that any form of communism would achieve a better result when the track record is worse than what we have.

Going by actual results, we should all be like Denmark and forego all other systems.

Millions working 40 plus in bone grinding conditions wearing out hips and spines and can’t never see the doctor.

America is a Holocaust in denial. And I’m not being melodramatic. It ****ing is like that so **** all of you in advance for your predictable admonishments. Every restaurant in America has employees with lives not worth living. You can only get so dead. If you’re devastated you’re devastated.

You don't even have to support any form of socialism to shake your head at that logic.

I'd say plenty of other countries do some form of this but other than that yeah.

I live in THIS ****hole. I know first hand it sucks. That’s my song and imma keep singing it

And I mean spines and knees wearing out is terrible but at least people recognize that those wear out. Americans are so stressed out from all this **** they're gunning people down in the in schools and Walmarts just so someone will notice that they're angry and need help.

"Millions"? Bull****. In the whole U.S. there are literally around 550k or so people working minimum wage according to the BLS. And even when you look at people right above that threshold, the total number is around 1.2 million, which represents literally only 2.3% of ALL people in the country who works a job that pays hourly.

I'd be interested in seeing unions coming back stronger and a lot of other changes though.

****ing exactly

Don’t back off that truth when you sober up if you’re drunk
