Yes and no

Communism is all about the worker and all that

I'd rather be poor as hell, politically free, and economically mobile than the inverse

Having no private property

Getting relocated

All property is collective, right?

Well it is just owned by the government

Russia isnt nearly as bad as China at least it's a sort of democracy and people have right to protest and they're not adding a social credit score etc.

If they dont like u

U dont get a house

Russia is just an oligarchy

That's it

Russia is just full of trans people and religious people

And depression

Yeah

Russia is just... A badly transitioned country, like most East European countries.

I mean Russia was like PRC not too long ago

I know

It was a great music market to exploit when the overthrow happened

Well countries like Poland Czechs Slovenia etc. transitioned fine because they're populations never believed the communist propaganda

Have u seen the slums in eastern europe

Poland did the best with their shock privatization

A lot of post soviet cities are dead

Just wastelands

Except Baltic States

Baltic states seem pretty fine

Baltic States are pretty cool

Werent they yugoslavia a bit ago?

Until 1989

Baltic states were part of the USSR

Then the fun ethnic wars

Yugoslavia had Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, ~~Kosovo~~, Montenegro etc.

What happened to libya

Before they were talking about bringing together africa

Then before you know it, ghadaffi is killed and the country starts the slave trade again

Communist Poland had lots of freedom compared to other Soviet states and had somewhat good relations with the west, and had freedom of religion

Gaddafi really was keeping a lid on the beast as he said

He was a bit too ruthless on his enemies

And he was a socialist

Poland also saved Europe from Communism see Polish Soviet war

He wanted all the oil money to be given out to every arab citizen
