you're probably bringing it up because you think pointing out an example of a famine that happened under socialism is a god way of countering the idea that food security was, in general, higher in socialist countries than in capitalist ones
The TvTropes article for "translation with an agenda"
Tell me how you will deny that it was socialist.
the reason why you think that is because you are a moron
Howdy folks!
“you are a moron”. ARGUMENT 100 👌
Yeah, I'm the moron, yet you're the one redefining socialism so your delusional ideology can avoid the blame of the millions of death it has on its conscience. <:LUL:372856126007410689>

how am i redefining socialism
why are you pretending that is all i said meratrix
Are you denying it was caused by socialist collectivization?
^^
Because that seems to be what you're doing.
I havn't read any of it yet and I have no idea what they define by "socialist" but judging by this -
it's stupid because just pointing out a single example is not as useful of a metric as comparing aggregated data, furthermore i could do the same and point out specific famines that occured under capitalism
Deny it, please. I needed a laugh.
capitalism does seem better
High come countries are only capitalist
weird, almost like poor countries are more likely to become socialist or something 🤔
no it doesn't
No, it's almost like socialist countries are more likely to become poor
why did eastern bloc countries grow faster than comparable capitalist countries
on average
How can you possibly look at this table and come to the conclusion that socialism is better?
I actually just popped in to ask a really dumb question, but yeah... socialism seems to never help the poor, the working poor or the working class.
it usually does
how so?
Russia asked the US to come over and analyze what went wrong with their economy after the USSR fell, and it was found that they were operating something like at half the economic strength.
Eastern block countries grow faster because they have more room to grow
source mera
And you can hardly consider them to be socialism anyway
i've heard sargon say that shit multiple times and he has never provided a source
baraban that makes no sense
That makes perfect sense
why would they have more room to grow compared to countries that had the same gdp per capita on average
History and countries are a pretty good source... go sell socialism to Venezauila.
venezuela isn't socialist
Because they aren't as advence, but they are catching up
what's your dumb question
