Thread: Communism

There's a good joke, however, that explained how the Soviets really saw communism.

Socialism. The sign on the front door of a store says, "No butter today."
Communism. The sign has been changed to say, "No need in butter today."

I think you keep confusing communism with power of a corrupt government and planned economy. But it's understandable because that's what was in propaganda that you have been eating.

Everything you disagree with is propaganda. The politburo of hddscan has spoken. LOL.

It's not me, it's Wikipedia. No doubt it is paid by Kremlin.

Post-era Russian economy is not the same as those of Third World countries. It is much industrialized. A shift to Gorbachev's market socialism would make it more workable than the command economy. My 1 cent opinion and is not intended to be rude to anyone.

Were you just on a trip to outer space? The Russian economy is floundering and the neo-Soviet tools put all their eggs in one basket - mostly everything into oil. I chat with lots of Russians and met several on here and vk. There's a lot of Russians who are desperate to leave. Of course, you have brainwashed citizens who worship at the ground of whatever the leadership does.

But, much of it collapsed and it is about to again. I'm not saying the West is better and what people tend to do is think that any critic is automatically saying 'the West' or capitalism (American definition of) is better which is another false assumption. Many Westerners who perceive such positive attributes about post-modern Russia are just ignorant and spend too much time watching RT. 'It is much industrialized.' LOL! Where?!?

Well, I've seen a few Russians saying they'd like the old Soviet Union to come back, because "it was better that way". It's like they don't know that communism...Doesn't...Work... And capitalism in the grand scheme of things is way more equal and fair.

What's the age of those Russians?

The other ironic thing I find is that so many Russians worship Western stuff. Even moreso than many Westerners. They think everything in the West is better or a paradise. Yet, these citizens and pro-communist /pro-neo-Soviet/pro-Putin etc. citizens never seem to speak to each other. Do they ever have a conversation with each other? LOL! It doesn't seem like it. Check out vk to get a sense of this pro-West worship. Yet, these neo-Soviet comrades spend all their time saying that Westerners 'don't know anything' or whatever their complaint is. Maybe, look in your own backyard, comrades.

Teenage Highschooler age. When I'm on vk, I don't know if I'm just looking in the wrong place, but I only see anti-American propaganda. РусскийНеправ&#108.jpg
