if you didnt use it you ended up at the lower spectrum of wealth .

yes

so if you refused to do anything proctuive you were sent to a camp

And poor Americans by far are living far better than rich and poor people of other countries

but if you were not so smart and not hard working it was still required to be productive

no

Hell how much of the poor is obese lol?

you misinterpreted what i said

You were sent to camps if you sneezed near stalin lol

Yeah that's kind of the same thing I'm planning (community college). Sadly my relatives and people just keep trying to pressure me to go to full college or whatever. Meanwhile I know a guy who never went to college and now makes $20/hr at Wal-Mart. Definitely don't need to go to college to be successful but there's just a lot of pressure on people to go anyway (which I think is stupid)

Shit Stalin sent his doctors and soldiers to camps

apprenticeships and trade school are better imo

equal opportunity is the idea that everyone, no matter who their family was and how much money their parents had, had to prove that they were better than the rest. and the "prize" of being better than the rest was more money and better priveleges

it doesnt matter if you were the son of stalin

you got no money from him

Stalin hated his sons lol

you went to school like a normal kid

Stalin hated everybody other than Stalin

i mean kids born to rich people are going to be rich, life isn't fair yknow but you can get out of poverty if you set your mind to it here

and had to prove that you were "worthy"

and that's one fault of america
people push college(and therefore the debt that comes from it)

whereas trades are a valid thing
and can really help your economic status

in capitalism yes, but thats not how it was in the soviet union

right i was talkin bout America

so it is a very interesting topic

i love watching russian dashcams

people are nuts over there

a fun kind of nuts

i dont want to fill up this text channel any more so if you want to debate me again or learn a bit more about how stuff was in the soviet union my dms are always open

peace guys

If your mindset is I'm always going to be poor, and I'm always going to be held down it's the rich people's fault its not fair for a poor person to steal a rich person's stuff. It's not right for a rich person to steal poor people's stuff

the thing with that line of thinking is with welfare, the rich put the most money into it meaning the rich are the ones paying for the poor

there was no such thing as welfare

i mean we all put money into it but

it's based on income isn't it

Wait who's line of thinking meryl?

3% of my income isn't going to be nearly as much as 3% of a rich persons income

Government cares not for poor people they just want people to be dependent on them.

the "i'm a victim, i'm poor" line of thinking

yep...which discourages most of the poor from going up economically
why work when you can basically get paid to not work?

Welfare as it is now incentivizes laziness

again, noone was in debt in the soviet union, and everyone made enough to feed themselves and their family. they didnt have to pay for a house, they didnt have to pay for medicine and the hospital
