And people like you are proof that gulags are necessary.
The Soviet union was absolutely in a position of higher moral authority having been the champion of actual tangible human rights. Learn some history so as not make a clown of yourself in public. The Soviet Union was a leader in human rights, particularly in advancing women’s liberation and supporting decolonial movements. The USSR set significant precedents for progressive social policies.
Here are just a few examples. The USSR implemented a system of free education accessible to all citizens, regardless of gender or class. Women were encouraged to participate in politics and professional fields, challenging traditional gender roles. USSR was first to enact policies ensuring equal pay for equal work, provided maternity leave and free childcare, and promoted gender equality and support working families. A comprehensive healthcare system was established, providing free or low-cost medical services to all citizens. The USSR undertook large-scale housing projects to address the post-WWII housing shortage, providing affordable and state-provided housing options for millions of citizens. Pensions, disability benefits, and other social safety nets were introduced to support elderly individuals, those unable to work, and families in need. The government supported cultural activities and arts, ensuring that all citizens had access to cultural events and education, promoting inclusivity and enriching social life. The Soviets actively supported anti-colonial movements and advocated for decolonization, providing assistance to newly independent nations and participating in international human rights efforts.
also notice how the media just memory holed Luigi once they realized the public was on his side
Indeed, they’re perfectly happy indoors too. You can’t drag my cats outside if you tried.
oh haha maybe, it looked kinda familiar but didn’t show up in search
indeed
Right, Trump is more of a Gorbachev figure who is a bumbling fool that breaks the system. Musk will be like Yeltsin and his cronies who robbed the country blind, and then the horrors will begin. Which way the country goes after that is the big question. Wrote about this in more detail here https://lemmy.ml/post/25657440
calling these people leaders is a bit of a stretch if you ask me
very much agree
It’s possible, but it also could play out the same way as in Russia where people just sucked it up, and then Putin came in and reigned in the worst excesses stabilizing the system.
The fact that people running the empire are completely unhinged is really disturbing to think about.
Unfortunately, I expect there is going to be immense suffering for the working class in the coming years.
Which itself is heavily subsidized.
Marx did ruminate on the idea that oppressed groups often uphold their oppressors’ systems because ideology, alienation, and economic survival instincts warp their understanding of power. Revolutions require class consciousness and the ability to recognize systemic nature of exploitation as opposed to treating it as a personal problem for individuals. As he famously put it, the tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
I’m just waiting for US to ban open source at this point
What’s incredible to me is that these trends were glaringly apparent for decades. Yet, Western liberals deliberately chose to turn a blind eye. Now, they are realizing that they are no longer seated at the table, sharing in the spoils, but have instead become part of the feast themselves.
Beating people into submission is certainly common for the US, but it’s not an option when dealing with other nuclear powers.
idiots making straw man arguments when they have nothing of value to say
