Okay, move to Cuba or North Korea where they still try to pursue communism and where they still have not realized how broken system it is. You will surely enjoy life there :D
You think North Korea's godking is the accurate administration of communism...?
So far every "attempt" at communism has resulted in some form of dictator, so it's not surprising that the idea of communism leaves a sour taste for a lot of people.
It really doesn't help that there are communities that look at the Russian outcome of communism and claim that was a good result.
Well, obviously every attempt at communism results in a dictatorship. To achieve communism, you firstly need a dictatorship but since it’s impossible to achieve communism, you will end up with socialist dictatorship. That’s why it sucks.
Has anything ever been ok in any of these countries? Russia has always been a totalitarian shit hole, same with China. Communism is just a part of their shitty history of oppression and dictators.
Not really, Russia went from an empire with kings /queens into a revolution into a "communjst" dictatorship.
China was similar but I think had a step in the middle, hence the split with Taiwan.
A monarchy is a dictatorship. It's literally someone with absolute authority dictating how what happens in a country.
Cuba seems like a decent place to live tbh, especially given the circumstances that we've imposed on them.
They have some of the best healthcare and doctors in the world.
If you promise to stay there, I will buy you a one way ticket. Thanks
No need my man (or lady, or enby), the coming brain drain will not cost you anything. Well not money at least.
I've got no problem taking my engineering degree somewhere that doesn't worship at the altar of unfettered capitalism.
Having an engineering degree and still wanting to move to a country which does not respect basic human rights and which tries to pursue communism is a very interesting combination indeed.
I'm chock full of surprises
Cuba is very much a surveillance state, otherwise I believe the main drawbacks are due to oppressive sanctions.
What isn't a surveillance state these days? Very few I imagine.
True, although I would be surprised if for example Britain or the USA has as many political prisoners.
