  • It just happens that communist regimes commited all these atrocities. Pure accident.

    People were starving in the great depression

    Great depression happened once and had the span of 10 years. Communism has history of massive poverty and starvation over the entire 20th century. For the entirety except few periods of economic distress, the wealth difference between communist and capitalist states is unquestionable. Communism doesn’t work. It doesn’t work to the point of former USSR puppet states voting it away in democratic elections… Once the fall of USSR allowed untampered elections that is.




  • In many instances communism couldn’t even feed their own citizens. In case of USSR puppet states even most basic products were rationed, like bread, shugar or chocolate. If you needed a washing machine, you couldn’t just go and buy one with your money, you had to hunt for one like for GPU during crypto boom. in 2021 And if you wanted a computer, like ZX Spectrum, or Commodore, you could only get it for these filthy capitalist dollars.

    And you know how much people earned in dollar terms? like $50 monthly.











  • It is a good partner to challenge me,

    Not really. I tried many models, and they tend to be rather uncreative when trying to find hole in your reasoning. I tried to debate the model about replacing regular inflationary currency with crypto with no inflation backed in. The best argument model made against it, was that I’m replacing one complex system with another equally complex one.

    Valid but not super smart…
