  • But you’re talking like a typical russian or their bot. They like to talk bullshit about nazis. Or you’re brainwashed by their propaganda. That’s really possible because their propaganda works perfectly on far right, nazis, far left and anti-western. But here’s the thing: you don’t want to mess with them. 30 years ago, we watched russian TV (because it was better), listened to russian music (because that’s what was playing everywhere), laughed at their jokes about stupid Americans, and mentally we were at russia’s side regarding almost every political point. We were against NATO, we considered the West as an enemy. We thought our nationalists were crazy freaks. Then we learned the hard way they were right. Our “enemies” helped us, and our “friends” wanted to kill us.











  • Come on, socialism is an economic system where society owns means of production. That’s what happened in USSR. The problem is, society cannot function without structure. There should be some representatives like secretaries. And those people have more power than others, even more, they can have near absolute power. And those people aren’t the best. As a result, bad people own all society, and there’s nothing to do with it. Under capitalism, if an employer is bad, workers can just quit and find another job. Under socialism, if the employer is bad, there is nothing to do because there is only one employer: the state. Capitalism is not bad, people who have lots of money are bad. But imagine exactly same people gain absolute power. That’s what was in the USSR. Greedy people, who wrote anonymous letters accusing others, benefited from it. They received confiscated flats and furniture. People of power lived better than others, they had better flats, better food, better goods. They were “elite”. All of them were actually higher class. And they stated they were caring for society. All their deeds were for good, they said.

    I believe regulated capitalism and democracy are the best for imperfect humans. If people were ideal, any system would work flawlessly. But people are flawed, and any system giving absolute power leads to a state where bad people rule others.








  • Other species don’t need clean water, clothes, complex tools and growing food. This makes their life simpler yet limits their number and habitat.

    Try to live in a village growing own food. It’s a hard work, especially if you have cattles or other domestic animals. Villagers work from early morning to evening because there’s a lot things to do. Living in a city is much easier.
