    I’ve noticed that a lot of complaints about the people’s republics is that their stuff isn’t fancy enough. Only one kind of soap, only one kind of apartment, only a handful of cars and they were all unimpressive. Antisocialists either never notice or never care that they have the privilege to be picky.

      Worse yet, they not only criticize the “went from peasant agrarian to industrial powerhouse in around 30 years” they also fail to address that the VAST majority of the “choice” they have is actually just the same 3 international megacorps in a trenchcoat posing as hundreds of brands.

        Not just any industrial powerhouse. Germany is an industrial powerhouse. Italy is an industrial powerhouse.

        Socialism produces industrial powerhouses that are putting people into space, building nuclear reactors and inventing revolutionary technologies.

      lots of crappy but colorful versions of the same thing with different names

      good stuff

      They’re very superficial people who judge people and their worth on appearances all the time. Also a very wasteful culture that has led us into the environmental mess we’re continuing to face

        That is the indoctrination from Western children’s cartoons to differentiate good guys and bad guys according to theor appearance, first impression and surface mannerism. Although there are parodies that points to the misleading indication by appearance and stereotypes, this indoctrination had perpetrated racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, and Islamophobia. They also led to the fear of hard working innovative scary red masterminds who gain the authority from the invisible hand to manage lazy Capitalists.
