    Please move to russia or NK or China…my family lived through the USSR and still deals with the shit they caused.

    You whine and complain here in the evil capitalism/imperialism countries…just move, go, prove us all wrong how evil our way is.

      First of all - all of those countries are Capitalist. Though I would describe Russia as socially fascist.

      Second of all - my family also lived through the USSR, and also whines about the shit they caused. Though if you ask them - they’d rather that than the Russia of today.

      They’re not wrong about the soviets either, the Soviet Union was far from ideal, but we shouldn’t strive to repeat their mistakes and let our blind ideological faith in liberalism and capitalism make us think we are perfect or that we cannot learn from them.

      Marx’s economic ideas for instance are largely true and are incorporated into mainstream economics theory all the same.

      All is not as simple as it seems.
