    Ah yes, life was just a peach for ppl living behind the iron curtain for the bulk of the 20th century.

      To be fair, I’m not endorsing capitalism. Capitalism is the 21st century blight as communism was in the 20th.

        Socialism was never a blight, while capitalism in the 20th century absolutely was, and had already reached the imperialist stage.

          I can get onboard with socialism. I understand the need to have a strong social safety net. But many here seem to be falsely conflating socialism and communism.
