“Socialism (led by communists or socialist parties) has never worked”
Reality: even in 1986 and according to world bank data the USSR, East Germany, Cuba, Yugoslavia, etc had significantly better outcomes for calorie intake, literacy, infant mortality, doctors p cap, etc than capitalist countries

There are no heroes, especially not capitalist ones.
You do know who's been invading other countries for a long time now, right? It's not any of the socialist countries.
Or nah?
Our cupboards are empty now, thanks to the lack of produce (farm workers being deported) and tariffs. But sure. Communism is the problem.
How will I know I'm superior and higher up the food chain if there are no starving people!?
You can't say something is good but also bad in other ways
Their heads are exploding like in Mars Attacks
actually if you're not a communist you don't get to critique socialism shut the fuck up i don't care what you think thanks B)
I mean I’m not making that as any statement in support of the officials and policy in place there but even if you are someone who is against it, the Embargo is clearly effective.
Otherwise the Cuban reactionaries in Florida wouldn’t support it.
sorry
there would be so much more communism
Republicans call that communism.
You are taking "reports to the Central Committee" as an unassailable truth refusing to recognize that an authoritarian system has no means and no reason to report truth to a "Central Committee".
Neither it was Socialism.
you can also, ya know, go and talk to people from these countries
I lived through Communism so no thank you
Unfortunately, it did not.
This is the article https://drive.proton.me/urls/GGJMJ6J58W#l0gT8G7ARIeR
The mass privatisation through the "Treuhand" resulted basically in millions of people loosing their jobs and homes over night. Big capitalism"Win".
Criticising the Stasi is fair game, besides some tankies socialists/communists don't want oppressive goverment either. But given the context of this discussion, the reunification worsened the lifes of most east Germans. You wouldn't get spied on anymore but are now broke.

Name one instance of a government that has adhered perfectly to the political ideology from a book, and then explain how that would be good materialism.
“State capitalism” is an intrinsically broken idea, requiring the misunderstanding of one or both terms.
One day. We will have socialism here. I am certain of that.
How are people still claiming this lmao
This was my encounter trying to educate someone.
That doesnt mean you should submit to capitalism where more and more human rights violations happen...
modern problems require modern solutions ;)
I don't know if you are a healthcare professional, but that explosion of fetal mortality in 1991 was because in the USSR it was calculated differently, producing artificially low rates. It was the same for other healthcare statistics.
Surely, you are not thinking there was an independent healthcare data collection by international bodies in the USSR in 1986?
Like, you actually do?
When a state consistently implements these policies, even to the detriment of businesses, then we see a massive improvement in conditions.
