The United States is facing a historic homelessness crisis, with figures reaching alarming heights. A recent report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies reveals that in January of last year, approximately 653,000 Americans reported being homeless in 2023. This figure represents a 12% increase from the previous year, marking the largest single-year surge ever recorded. The report highlights a 48% increase in homelessness compared to 2015, as reported by the Daily Wire. Many have been s

      I gave you an answer, and the fact that you don’t understand the role US plays in destroying socialism around the world clearly shows that there’s no point trying to have a discussion with you. Maybe spend some time educating yourself instead of trolling on public forums. Bye.

          LMAO imagine claiming central planning doesn’t work when China exists. Also, I did respond to you, go read the book to see what was done to Venezuela and countries around it. Obviously we both know you’re not going to read it, so keep on believing whatever nonsense you want. Not my job to educate you.

              China has massive amounts of central planning. They literally release 5 year plans for the country. Meanwhile, there is nothing silly about blaming a country that chokes off other countries economies, invades them, meddles in their politics, runs coups, and political assassinations. US is aggressively hostile to every socialist country on the planet.

              Meanwhile, even if we accepted your premise that Venezuela failed because of central planning, that doesn’t prove what you seem to think it proves. Plenty of capitalist countries fail all the time. Using your galaxy brain logic, that proves that decentralized planning doesn’t work. Why haven’t you moved to Argentina for example? Based on your argument it should be a libertarian paradise.

              Finally, dismissing a book that directly addresses your questions without reading it is precisely in line with the level of intellect you’ve demonstrated in this discussion.

                  Nobody except western people with exceptionally smooth brains is afraid that the economy in China will collapse. Venezuela was fucked with by US long before the sanctions. The book I linked you details this fuckery. Read it instead of making a clown of yourself here.

                  Meanwhile, one has to be an utter ignoramus to not be able to think of countries that failed under capitalism. I know it’s a trope that Americans are historically illiterate, but holy shit. Go read up on what happened to Germany in the 30s.

                  The fact that you think you know more about USSR than somebody lived there really sums it up though. 😂

                  You’re like the embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
