what the fuck is this chat even about

lefty shit

gommulism

and the artist formerly known as socialism

i see

theres a difference between high rates of literacy and 99%

possibly the most bs statistic i have read in a while

sure, I think the Tsarist rates were about 18% tho, still a substantial increase

especially considering a lot of the population had a poorer standard of life compared to their western counterpart

It was an inevitable increase

a fascist state could've done so

nothing exclusive to communism

😄 Interesting, but even official US propaganda didn't deny literacy. Not even in a dream.

>even us propaganda didn't deny 99% literacy rate

>children being flown from the north pole to school in helicopters

>russian children having enough food to feed themselves

so you guys just post to a message board and meme about isms?

Is that a state of denial?

sure

not everyone's a commie

>a communist asking someone if they're in a state of denial

apparently railway workers and the Red Army did bretty well http://isreview.org/issue/82/education-literacy-and-russian-revolution

While the adult literacy campaign’s accomplishments were thus limited, and much of the data is hotly contested as a result of Stalinist distortions, it had important successes. In its first year of existence, the campaign reached five million people, “about half of whom learned to read and write.”36 While literacy statistics are hard to find, it is worth noting that the number of rural mailboxes increased from 2,800 in 1913 to 64,000 in 1926 as newspaper subscriptions and the exchange of written communications substantially increased—a notable corollary of increased literacy. In unions, literacy programs were quite successful. To give one example, a campaign among railway workers led to a 99 percent literacy rate by 1924.37 Similarly, in the Red Army, where literacy and education were deemed crucial to ensure that soldiers were politically engaged with its project, illiteracy rates decreased from 50 percent to only 14 percent three years later, and 8 percent one year after that. On its seventh anniversary, the army achieved a 100 percent literacy rate, an immense accomplishment, even if short-lived, as new conscripts made continual education necessary.

I suppose communist propaganda is still taught in schools over there

"an immense accomplishment, even if short-lived, as new conscripts made continual education necessary."

Question: How many of those people died young?

why the fuck do you need to read to become cannon fodder or starve to death?

>doesn't know WW2 statistics.

>learning to read when i can become a janitor and earn the same amount as a doctor

@Buffwea helped propaganda campaigns, for the Party to impress relevant literature on them I guess
