  • Im not sure what you mean by socialist countries. But communists countries are more oppresive:

    • They have leaders that stay in power for decades. Opposition is often punished.
    • There is nor freedom of speech, speaking against the government gets you in jail or worse.
    • In some of those countries, people are not allowed to leave the country.

    And for the record, I agree that poverty is extremely oppressive as well and we need more socialist reforms in capitalist countries, tax harder the rich, break monopolies, foster more unions and so on, I just dont agree that communism is the magical land you all think it is and the solution to all the problems. Nobody seems to want immigrate to North Korea for a reason.



















  • And I agree that social investment in capitalist societies builds better quality of life. Where I disagree with you is on the intention of these posts. Its clearly communist propaganda painting communism as a perfect solution for everything, as if we could not remember history or see with our own eyes that nobody wants to immigrate to North Korea for a reason.
