because lives were on the line and force

if there were lives on the line, the blood was on the hands of the West

soviets didnt want to die i guess

they would've happily continued to build socialism if there was no capitalists around

Ok so they can build socialism, doesnt mean that socialism is a good idea.

i mean these arguments are hair thin lmao

again your opinion does not matter, if you had any understanding then you would realize socialism is an inevitable dialectical stage on the road to full communism

OK AND SO?????????????????+++
ARE U ACTUALLY DUMB?
"IF YOU JUST UNDERSTOOD HOW SOCIALISM IS GOING TO BECOME COMMUNISM THEN YOU WOULD KNOW SOCIALISM IS A GOOD THIN"

Yeah and I’m entitled to because I’ve personally experienced both socialism and capitalism, therefore my opinion is informed. Whereas most people on KTT who glorify socialism have never personally experienced it themselves.

No, I’m doing exceedingly well in life. My school marks ranked me in the top 0.5% percentile of my entire country, I graduated from the best university in my country and I’m now working in a well-paying finance role. That’s why I love capitalism. It rewards motivated, hard-working, high-achieving people like myself. If I was stuck in my socialist home country, I know I wouldn’t have had the freedom to achieve what I’ve achieved so far.

Capitalism is a disease

it really does matter why dude. If the entire world you live in is structured to most benefit those who act out of profit, then wouldn't that condition you to act out of the sake of profit your entire life?

Dude didnt even answer the question and still kept throwing out bullshit

Doesn't take away from the fact the book is about the horrors of socialism. Maybe Orwell was just a dumbass

Literally not what it's about lmao

Reference an orwell book to try and prove a point, get proven wrong, now orwell was a dumbass

Capitalist education failing you

Is everyone in here white and/or from another country?

Where the Black Americans

And by your own admission, wasn't it social policies in the form of welfare that got you where you are? Not capitalist policy, weren't both high school and university you went to public entities collectively funded by the citizenry? Sure if you'd went through only private education, then eventually were the head of your own company you'd have a point, but instead you're bragging about the success of social policies

Rename to virgin thread

Experiencing both doesn't make you informed at all, I've experienced the the flu but that doesn't make me informed on its inner workings and why it produces the symptoms it does. You've shown time and again you're ill-informed about both systems, so what relevance are your experiences if all you're doing is spouting layman gibberish.

Truth be told, is there really anything wrong with virginity?

idk how i feel about socialism but capitalism? that s*** suck BIG TIME
