yeah i mean people gotta decide looking through history whether they think certain sacrifices are worth it

I just think people take certain leaders as memes just for laughs and its actually much more serious (not saying OP or anyone itt is doing that but)

facts or nah

keep suckin that capitalist meat KW

Can anyone here explain to me why a person would choose to work hard at their job in a communist system?

Whenever a conservative calls centrists/liberals socialists you can just throw their opinion out the door

The reason famines started in Russia, China, Ukraine had more to do with their trade policies than people not working.

They did not set have the infrastructure up to be largely self dependent but tried to be
