So your arguement is that poverty rates haven't been changing.

They didn't change it here. They literally defined it in the graph as less than 1.90$ a day

Lets go delve into this source then

WE WAS EXTREMELY IMPOVRISHED N SHIET

also even STILL

Capitalism enforces a permanent amount to be in poverty

I mean fuck. I guess South Korea is still a shithole huh?

@EnderOctanus Yes.

no point in history has a capitalist state had a unemployment rate below 1%

without the economy soon collapsing

Fascism best ism

^

Yeah ofc, but there are plenty of people who aren't in extreme poverty that are unemployed

(about unemployment)

Also

5k you lied

they in the source itself

No communist economy has lasted long before completely collapsing, or adopting some measure of a free market, either.

And having full employment breeds stagnation as no new startups can be created

say the international poverty line was revised

Octanus

what Communist society was allowed to flourish?

Because the USSR was popularly supported

there was literally a referendum in 1991

a few months before its dissolution

What society was "allowed" to fluorish?

over 70% of the population supported it

The USA isn't embargoed by over half of the world

Find me a society that was "allowed" to do anything.

and had the largest alliance in history formed against it

The USA's war crimes and invasion of pretty much anywhere it wants

Israel's illegal settlements

any society that is backed by the ones at the very top

or are at the very top

are virtually unlimited in their power

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

Both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. had there blocs with massive amounts of people and natural resources, yet only one prospered

Yes the USSR was totally powerless and bullied.

The USSR's citizens had a similar diet to the USA

there was even a CIA report

saying that they had an even more nutritional diet
