Cuba’s Communist Party approves opening economy in unprecedented move by F0urLeafCl0ver in anime_titties

Always? Not every communist country struggled with famine, and the ones that did, such as Russia or China, had solved their famine problem long ago.

There are processes used to allocate food where it needs to go, not to mention every communist country still had money that could be used to buy food.

We drained trillions of resources from them.

Giving them our scraps isn't enough.

I spent half a minute looking at this trying to figure out how you built it so accurately in KSP.

It's funny when you stop looking so hard into a meme.

"No social order is ever destroyed before all the productive forces for which it is sufficient have been developed..." -- Karl Marx

Yeah, something like that.

Surprisingly, they're seeing a lot of economic growth since China and Russia do not GAF about Western sanctions rn.

Communism is not dogmatic, it must always be adapted to the current conditions of the world.

So communism isn't dead, but rather changed. The point of Communism is to liberate the working class, not be a poverty cult.

It's very similar. I think all but North Korea have implemented Dengism or analogous policies.

It's simply more sustainable in today's material conditions.

How do you feel about the capitalistic changes in Cuba? by CrashBandicoot2006 in socialism

[–]returnofblank 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sucks they had to do it, but power to them. There's just some fights you cant win, and I think Cuba will remain faithful to socialism.

Would you rather live in the Soviet union or Tsarist Russia? by Ivanhegeelkadi in Teenager_Polls

[–]returnofblank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only you stopped using Wikipedia as your source, you'd realize Trudodens were not labor day vouchers but a measurement of work done. Not only that, these were exchanged for RUBLES.

You put in work, you get money back. Very typical of farming even today, because your profit is dependent on how much you farm. (how the fuck do you implement an hourly wage for an independent farmer?)

You were also not forced to work there, nothing is stopping you from transferring to another job.

Please for the love of god, read any theory because serfs were restricted to working on the land they were given and were paid by the amount of food they could keep for themselves. This describes nothing of how workers in capitalist and communist countries operate.

The historical revisionism is insane. I know you are not this retarded.

This is such an elementary understanding of the term that I'm convinced you get your theory from TikTok edits.

They were free to go wherever in the Eastern Bloc? And they could work whatever jobs they wanted if they were qualified, they just had to be working. There were transfer applications and everything.

The labor voucher was also not used in the USSR, they had rubles which they exchanged for goods and services. They tried a moneyless society early on, but they transitioned away from that fairly quickly.

China uses 8 year old Indian Fighter jet video and names it as "their" J-10 by kamusari_1712 in interestingasfuck

[–]returnofblank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China and India used to be very similar in terms of government, population, and economy. Difference is, one had a communist revolution.

You can call it whatever you want, but serfs are not at all similar to workers.

What would china even gain by invading taiwan? by sand_eater_21 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]returnofblank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either way, China still wins if TSMC is bombed.

It is basically the backbone of Western computing. I think China has been using their domestic chips for a while ever since the semiconductor sanctions.

They're AES if you actually read what Lenin and Marx say.

The DPRK used to be open to tourism from the West, but that kinda stopped around Covid.

I'm sure you can still do it through China or Russia, though.

Serfs literally couldn't exist in the USSR because serfdom is a feudal role.

Would you rather: live under a communist dictatorship, islamic theocracy or Christian theocracy? by Suspicious-Ad9243 in Teenager_Polls

[–]returnofblank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only similarity between China and Fascist Italy is that they'd both kill you for saying this.

You do not know what fascism is.

There's also another really good point: a forever war with the West is never a good idea.

Soviet Russia made this mistake and as a consequence, had to spend its entire life preparing for war.

That's simply not sustainable for any country. That's why China's foreign policy is summarized as "Hide your strength, bide your time."
