    This is the dumbest comment on this entire page.

    You posted a photo of fully stocked shelves and every word you said is a straight up trope. “Corruption” does so much work with politically illiterate westerners to paper over why ‘bad thing is bad’ without a lick of knowledge about either the bad system or the good one in your mind. And I always love hearing about how bad socialism is from people who suffered from the end of socialism.

    Ultimately the only actual reason the west has for why socialism is bad is “We’ll kill you”

          Point taken. I am not for communism as I’ve seen first hand what it looks like. All communism does is congregate the power in the government instead of private hands. It’s still corrupt just in a different way.

          Doesn’t matter the form of government. Power will narrow and corrupt IMHO. It’s human nature.

          A lot of it, as a “Westerner” is also the devil you know.

            You can’t use personal experiences as evidence when you’re staying anonymous and won’t say what those experiences were. If you’re 60 years old you got a solid 10 years of socialism in the last phase of being overtaken by the west to make adult brained judgements about it.

            Let’s start with how old you are. Are you 60 or older? And what country are you talking about?
