Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What an unplanned economy does to a mfer
Western economists when the USSR slows its growth from 1975 to 1985 due to a variety of reasons including hesitation to fire workers from outdated workplaces, increased difficulty in resource extraction due to prime deposits being exploited, leniency with a black market of stolen state property, lack of F&D in civilian sector of the economy due to resources being pulled by the military because of US pressure, and some inefficiencies in allocation of workers remaining from the Fel'dman model, all while still increasing real purchase power by 3.5% per year per capita in the same period: This is absolute and final proof that planned economies must never be tried again
Western economists when the EU can't recover its 2008 level after 16 years of neoliberal austerity policy under capitalism, continuously eroding the welfare state, worker rights and the purchase power of citizens in those countries year after year: "This is by far the best system history has to offer"
