  • That’s a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it’s also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

    It’s pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

    Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.



  • If someone made half a million a year I’d say they were rich… half a million in total assets would just mean you own a home and might have something saved for retirement.

    I’m not saying that it’s poor, and I know that there’s a good chunk of America that’s “worth” less than like 10k, and probably a good number of people who are in the negative, but half a million isn’t fabulously rich.

    Half a million is within reach for people who didn’t start out dirt poor, got an education, and a professional gig. I say this as someone who would be worth less than 10k if I didn’t inherit my home. A lot of people’s Net Worth Includes things that they can essentially never turn into actual money, but it still acts as a money saving asset.
