Saw a great argument on reddit today over which political party is to blame. Spoiler: there was no consensus.
Tell me again about how communism means no food. I swear to God people just push their insecurities about capitalism onto communism.
Maybe they're thinking it could actually be worse which is terrifying
You wiww nyevew be a weaw woman. You have nyo womb, you have nyo ovawies, you have nyo eggs. You awe a homosexuaw man twisted by dwugs and suwgewy into a cwude mockewy of nyatuwe’s pewfection.
Aww the “vawidation” you get is two-faced and hawf-heawted. Behind youw back peopwe mock you. Youw pawents awe disgusted and ashamed of you, youw “fwiends” waugh at youw ghouwish appeawance behind cwosed doows.
Men awe uttewwy wepuwsed by you. Thousands of yeaws of evowution have awwowed men to snyiff out fwauds with incwedibwe efficiency. Even wemuvd who “pass” wook uncanny and unnyatuwaw to a man. Youw bonye stwuctuwe is a dead giveaway. And even if you manyage to get a dwunk guy home with you, he’ww tuwn taiw and bowt the second he gets a whiff of youw diseased, infected axe wound.
You wiww nyevew be happy. You wwench out a fake smiwe evewy singwe mownying and teww youwsewf it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feew the depwession cweeping up wike a weed, weady to cwush you undew the unbeawabwe weight.
Eventuawwy it’ww be too much to beaw - you’ww buy a wope, tie a nyoose, put it awound youw nyeck, and pwunge into the cowd abyss. Youw pawents wiww find you, heawtbwoken but wewieved that they nyo wongew have to wive with the unbeawabwe shame and disappointment. They’ww buwy you with a headstonye mawked with youw biwth nyame, and evewy passewby fow the west of etewnyity wiww knyow a man is buwied thewe. Youw body wiww decay and go back to the dust, and aww that wiww wemain of youw wegacy is a skeweton that is unmistakabwy mawe.
This is youw fate. This is what you chose. Thewe is nyo tuwnying back.
I've never actually seen a photo of a bread line in a communist country. That is, I've seen photos that have made that claim, but inevitably the photos turn out to be from a capitalist country during austerity, or from a communist country that has recently fallen to capitalism.
Do authentic photos of communist breadlines even exist?
Edit: since I posted this I found a series from 1990-1 USSR, which, I don't think counts. In fact, I think anything from late 1980s onward is due to opening of the country to capitalism. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
And actually, I found a photo from 1917 Russia. Funny how there's that whole 70 years in between...
Noting happened in those 70 years, nothing of note. And if something did, it was bad
Everyone sitting in a big car. Sadder than any breadline I could imagine.
So did the government just forget about that whole second round of stimulus thing or what?
Neither side wants the other to take the credit for the crumbs their willing to hand out
