      Yeah cause that shit turned out great for Russia. Maybe we (Americans) should follow our own history and do what Woodrow Wilson and FDR did. Tax the bastards, tax them till they bleed.

        russia saw one of the biggest jumps in quality of life for its citizens in recorded history.

        we tried taxing the rich, they are dismantling these in the world as we speak and they will keep doing it again and again as long as we let them exist as a class.

        capitalism is obsolete.

          Either you are joking or you are very stupid. Or perhaps you are one of Putin’s little puppets, trying to recontextualize the USSR and the various atrocities it committed against its own people.

          Regardless, you are very very wrong.

          Edit: and now I’m remembering how many tankies reside here on Lemmy.

              So, stupid it is. Putin is a USSR glorifier. He continually puts out propaganda about how great Russia was under the banner of the USSR. His whole reasoning in invading Ukraine and Crimea is to re-integrate them as they were before the fall of the Berlin wall.

                He glorifies it so much that’s he criticize communism a lot.

                He just want the land dude, he is a oligarch, a reactionary. The actual government is not communist.

                  If you think that what the USSR had was communism, then you are as dumb as the other guy.

                    What you the chosen one who defies the historians calls the USSR government?

                    If it’s socialism OK, I can give you that.
