Sure I'll just go in my alt-history time travel machine and be born in a communist state. Sorry for suggesting we improve things somewhat?

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk -3 points 2 months ago

Or just go to north korea or cuba and see how they live

You should go into your alt history time machine and realize how shitty it is living under communism. Why do you think every country bordering Russia hates them so much?

Must really suck to have guaranteed housing and income lol

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago

If you think that's how it worked, then I have news for you.

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk -2 points 2 months ago

That is where I'm from, and yes we all hate russia and their stupidity

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Yeah, same. It's sad that people who don't really know what it was like are romanticizing communism as the "solution to everything" and repeating what is essentially populist nonsense.

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk -4 points 2 months ago

You don't even need to travel in time to feel the communist spirit, just go to any post-soviet country and see the reality for yoursef.
