    There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.

      It’s like saying democracy sucks because look at states like Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo and German Democratic Republic.

      When people proclaim to be something doesn’t make it true.

      Oh here we go with “That wasn’t real communism!” as if any other communist state on this planet is any different.

    Fuck Communism and fuck unchecked capitalism. People deserve basic human rights. Free heallthcare, education, insurance and liveable basic income is a must. It doesn’t make your society full of freeloaders instead it gives all the people a chance to become what they want in the society. I hope that people can see this basic difference and we can work towards for a better future as humanity instead of whatever country title.

      Interesting how capitalism needs the qualifier ‘unchecked’ while apparently communism has only one possible form.

        But is it Communism’s Final Form? I think Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism is the best form.

    More like: People on the internet being critical of the current system, Americans on the internet saying “COMMUNISM BAD” as if USSR style state capitalism is the only other possible option.

    Didn’t the USSR just do state capitalism, and not actual communism or socialism? And weren’t they also totalitarian & also not a democracy? Are people actually asking for what was happening in astern Europe or something else?
