Yes, that is true and those obscenely rich people shouldn't exist.
But, for me, anything is better than being at the mercy of a tyrannical regime hell bent on controlling all aspect of your life, turning people against each other and removing them for their opinions.
The USSR era was the worst thing in the modern history of Europe (yet) and anyone who idealizes it is, at best, scum.
Yes, in the real world, some people have a very short and selective memories.
Fortunately statistics are quite clear in proving otherwise.
Just use a better instance than .world...
especially when statistically most of your peers disagree with you
There is not a single post-communist nation in Eastern Europe that feels anything other than hate towards communism on average. Its effects were worse than WWII.
If you lived in Russia then sure. If you lived in any of the annexed countries and preferred the priviledge of not being able to travel, secret police checking your every fart and people dying while trying to, for some inexplicable reason, escape to the evil west, then you're a traitor to your own people.
Because the single only way to do communism is how the UdSSR did it, there's no other way.
It is, because one bad apple spoils the bunch if you don't send them to gulags. Communism on a large scale is not self stabilizing unless everyone is ideologically 100% onboard.
Communism is an economic fairy tale, not policy.
It would be nice if it were possible but with the current state of the world, it is not.
Social democracy is a reasonable compromise.
It is. Education would not be sufficient for that unless you can program people with chips in their heads.
You then get a few people who produce something that is desirable and rare, start exchanging it for favors and you're on your way to a systemic collapse.
