What am I
Post
Should I take the 8values test
Well as far as I know it's more accurate than the political compass
Okay stay there, I'm looking forward to being made fun of
roast me, comrades
Communism, everyone is poor, beautiful equality
never heard that one before
sorta true doe
sure, the bourgeoisie might get knocked down a peg or two, but it's arguably a net gain
jesus christ, am i a utilitarian?
i've never even read bentham or mill
anyways, the quality of life for many improved quite well under socialism in many countries
Yes, they all got to be sent to gulag
saying many because there are certainly places where it failed, and i'm partial to that of the libertarian variety myself
even in places without gulags
in revolutionary catalonia, production and overall standard of living improved greatly for the majority of people
i know that sounds dubious, so i'm going to dig up a citation real quick
gimme a sec
i have it in a book, and there's a preview on amazon but i'm not sure how far it goes
so i'll see if i can find alternate docs
Its probably true, communism always works at the start, until the government runs out of money
not necessarily, my good man
as you can see here, the USSR had the second highest growing economy as of 1970
second only to japan, which you've gotta admit is pretty darn impressive
how is the growth measured in that graph
gdp per head
okie
well this graph here shows a different picture
measuring the gdp per head/capita
it might have been measuring by percentage of growth rate
this is also a neat read for sustained economic growth in the ussr
okie i'll have a read tonight
it is pretty interesting, i genuine recommend it
this is also a somewhat telling graph
