If it blows hot air up your ass, you can call it Mr. President/Prime Minister.

Oh no, I did the thing too…

Sometimes people just want to take a shit in peace.

Or, at the very least, recognize the level of knowledge you have and partake in the discussion with humility, doubt and caution.

They’re used to what they know, and change - even for the better - seems wrong.

Israel. We are more socialist than the US ( public healthcare, unemployment support etc.) But we are definitely Capitalist and our minimum wage can barely cover utilities, health and food. Not going to talk about housing, because that shit is just globally fucked.

Quite frankly, when American self-criticism will die out - THAT’S when I l’ll start worrying. Criticism is a healthy sign of freedom of speech and pluralism.

In my country it is 7.49$ and raised by only 1.77$ in the last 10 years.

It’s not just the US.

I wish you people good luck in driving out that bastard, and the hard fixes necessary afterwards - regardless of which system it will follow.

Idealistically? Yes. I wholeheartedly agree. Capitalism will always encourage unfair competition, whereas socialism will strive to end it by its very definition.

I’m just still unconvinced that the post Soviet nations, as a whole, suffer the same “communism withdrawal symptom”. The systematic pressures might be so that switching to Communism now will simply fail again (and let’s not forget the dear old CIA… eh?).

Again, hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see the point you’re making as clearly as you do. I think it is a more complicated situation, but I sure do think that being more socialist wouldn’t hurt them.

And I can’t repeat this enough, remove Orban the dictator from power.

Ok, so it is not nostalgia, bad management, corruption, disillusionment “of how great capitalism is”… it is only that post Soviet nations had it better during the communist era and thus are better managed as Communist nations.

Whelp, I’ll just remain a skeptic.

I wish the post Soviet nations, completely unsarcastically, good luck in the next elections or revolution. I would be happy to see the communist ideology continue to thrive in the face of capitalist debt slavery, and the contemptuous bourgeoisie.

Mmm, fair point.

That is just the classic “Communism failed and the proof is the USSR!” Turned on it’s head.

This more of a Hungary problem then a capitalism problem, although I’m sure it does it’s fair share of damage.

Should they go back to communism? Maybe. I’m sure liberals, socialists and communists would all agree that kicking Orban out is a good first step.

From 1989-1998, Hungary was a failing democracy. Since 1998 it gradually became Viktor Orban’s private kingdom.

It doesn’t mean that communism is wrong (as you’ve provided multiple examples here that I haven’t checked), but in the case of Hungary I’d say it is complicated.

The peeing part can also be gout (personal confirmation).

What you should do if you drink/pee often at night is to get tested, because it could be a lot of things.

Animal experimentation should always be the last option, but an option nonetheless.

Unless you’re talking cosmetics or some other meaningless bullshit.
