USSR: focus on education, free healthcare, went from feudal shithole to a world power that fed it's people, a lot of social spending, workers councils had a say in the economy, defeated Nazis
USA: millions of homeless people, horrible drug problem, college debt, most wealth stolen from other nations through imperialism, ruled by fascist sympathizers and corporations, landleeches everywhere sucking life and noney of workers
Thanks, US would be on the bottom of my list of good countries. It's good if you want to be a rich leech, it sucks for an average Joe.
Yeah but where's the USSR now?... π
What the heck? The USA has all those problems, sure but it's way better than all 3rd world countries, top three in 1st world countries AND it's the strongest nation in; military, average living standards, education, medicine, jobs, etc.
I think someone lied to you about capitalism considering it's the reason why our country is so great. But let me put it the best way I know how: at its worse, no one died of starvation under capitalism - even during the greatest recessions. At its best, a shit ton of people starved to death in the cold under communism.
Is capitalism perfect? Far from it. But it works. And God bless America πΊπ²π«‘
