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.
They'll critisize the housing in the former USSR and ignore the tent cities in the USA.
i mean, their "argument" is:
i sleep
good stuff
tbf, sometimes it was just one crappy version.
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.
Not for much longer the way things are going.
