My favorite was death panels.
“The government is going to decide who lives and dies by gatekeeping access to healthcare!” Motherfucker, that’s what insurance does now. The potential failures of a collectivized system are treated with more scrutiny than capitalism working as intended.
I don’t know how this will be received here, but both panels are true
You’re not too wrong.
But despite all of the inexcusable ethnic cleansing shit of the PRC they have drastically raised the standards of living of the poorest.
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone (who isn’t a member of a persecuted minority or political dissident) in conditions as bad as a Brazilian favella in the PRC. Let alone a favellasworth of them.
(And to preempt, bright spots of favella culture such as community centres, art, and people succeding are despite the conditions (even if in response to them), not a sign that they’re “good actually”.)
Yes and I’d rather have everyone poor than some guys being extra rich.
I love it when they show price gouging and panic buying and long lines at grocery stores (pictures of capitalism in action) and say “this is what communism looks like!”
It’s like they’re soooo close to getting it, but never will make that connection.
THIS IS WHAT COMMUNISM LOOKS LIKE: detroit.jpg
Thats detroit? Looks exactly like a picture from sao paulo, brazil.
(Those buildings are now vacant)
Detroit was a different meme.
They just have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! See it worked for some!
