    This is so dumb. You can't "coerce" someone to do work at this very high level -- either they have the aptitude and some kind of desire for it, or they fail. It's like the claim I've run into in musical circles that David Oistrakh was only a great musician because the Soviet authorities put a gun to his head. You simply don't produce real competence in a skilled profession this way.

    And, in light of some recent lib incursions (and resulting discussions) here on the 'grad: it's funny that libs will in all cases defend prostitution as a "free choice" and yet cry bloody hell when it come to women being given the education and opportunity to become scientists, academics, etc. Almost as if they are the ones who really don't view women as full human beings.

    It's clearly because we need more female CEO's and drone pilots, not more women that help humanity improve themselves. How are you meant to girlboss on the cutting edge of science when you can't write witty LinkedIn productivity hacks or make propaganda enlistment videos?

    Unrelated but what is up with your upvotes? Not that I don't rate your content but they seem to come ridiculously fast.

      But! But! Weren't they going to nationalize all women??

      spoiler

      Equally devastating was the story about the nationalization of women. [...] for months [this] was assiduously taught to the American People as truth.

        Weird that they didn't keep going with that. Though I suppose the CHUDs these days demand a "state issued girlfriend" so it would probably make them more supportive, not less.

          I remember reading that some guys actually went to RSFSR to check this and came back disappointed. Some didn't came back since after knowing the truth about RSFSR they became communists, and probably this scared the Hearst so much that he abandoned this line and invented the hologramodomor, which is much safer since nobody gonna go and check famine.
