I had the opportunity to visit Russia in 1987 at the hight of the USSR. It was a hell-hole. Communism doesn’t work.
Authoritarian dictatorships that move wealth and power to the top at the expense of the peopel don’t work. “Communism” is barely on the radar, you can stick whatever label you want on it.
1987 certainly wasn’t the height of the USSR
I had the opportunity to visit Detroit in 2017 at the height of the USA. It was a hell-hole. Capitalism doesn’t work.
Who the fuck is down oting this on Lemmy?
People sick of the “Capitalism Bad” circlejerk when the alternative isn’t much better as shown in the above post.
