They can, they just dont. certainly not something that might make them understand the conditions inside the Soviet Union.
Even if it’s a meme, and it rips the piss out of liberals or whatever, such mistakes make them easy target and work only in echo chambers
That would require liberals to read so they know what you just said. Quite rare.
The owner has set up this system where he says you get to choose the boss. Even if you do, at best you get to choose who interprets the owners orders. Spending all your time fighting for one boss or the other or against specifically the boss is the wrong thing to do. The correct thing to do is to fight to get rid of the owner and this system, to create a new system that is truly democratic, that will listen to the workers.
As the wikipedia page for Fishers book says:
the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it.
Also I was reminded of these ReadFanon comments, thought I’m not sure they’re directly related to this.
Liberalism. Capitalist realism. Etc., etc. such ideas.
So 25%
Also:
The average rent in the USSR around 1970 was 2–3% of the average urban family budget. This compares to an average of 20–25% before the Revolution, and 25–30% in the USA in 1970.24
Albert, Szymanski. Human Rights in the Soviet Union. Zed Books. 1984. Chapter 5
stalin recriminalized it - which is his fault
This seems like Great Man theory. Was he really single-handedly imposing this? Or where there more to it?
And what’s the income in these cities? How much is said 200 of the average inhabitants income?
I’m reading Albert Szymanski’s Human Rights in the Soviet Union right now and they made massive changes. I would recommend it.
Five years.
A case of Homosexuality. Feifer, George. Justice in Moscow. Simon and Schuster, 1964. pp 207–8
To return to the cases behind closed doors: There is an article in the code that I would have thought unnecessary; it deals with homosexuality.* Muscovites are so strongly heterosexual—so little titillating talk, so much real activity. One never sees obvious homosexuals in public places, and I had assumed that I would never see them in court. Russians seemed too healthy for that.
The exception proved the rule. Late one afternoon I came across it in a wretchedly damp, low-ceilinged basement room in the form of two elderly men, fifty-five and sixty-one, the first with a full eighteenth-century peasant beard, the other in high boots and a tunic. Insensibly drunk, they had exposed themselves on a bitter November day in a park and made some sort of contact with each other. They listened in deep embarrassment while the court found them guilty; but “considering their ages, their families, their honest confessions, and their promises of future good behavior,” it decided not to deprive them of freedom but merely to fine them 20 per cent of their salaries for a year.
The men sputtered thanks to the judge and left separately without exchanging a glance. A once-very-pretty, fortyish woman who heard the sentence with me shook her head incredulously. “I just don’t believe it. You mean they . . .? The two of them? Good God, what for?”* Article 121: Homosexuality.
Sexual relations of a man with a man (homosexuality) is punishable by deprivation of freedom for a period of up to five years. Homosexuality committed by means of application of physical force, threat, or in relation to a minor, or by taking advantage of a dependent position of the victim, is punishable by deprivation of freedom for a period of up to eight years.
That’s how it’s always been, look at pre-revolutionary russia same there.

Are you doing a bit? A joke?
That’s not biden. That’s captain america.
Also Are you making a joke? I can’t tell.
You didnt, only china is considered communist in the original. You’re on the forefront of the communist aggression, as seen with the arrows, because some parts of the fediverse considers you to be/going tankie, and because the user that was the starting domino for this was a db0 user.

Australian election thingy actually.
I would have given you KCNA, but I don’t think they have RSS. Actually I don’t think any of the Korean news websites have RSS.
