Lol, you're claiming one measure in physical quality of life means communism is great. Ignoring the fact that all of those countries have now either failed or have moved to a market based system in order to improve life.

Hilarious

Yeah, pretty hilarious that once these countries abandoned communism and switched to capitalism quality of life rapidly deteriorated. Thanks for underscoring my point.

Not according to actual data from the last 30 years, but you don't actually accept facts so discussing anything with anyone as deluded as you is pointless

Why do you think 19th century ideology is relevant in the 21st?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, according to actual data from the last 30 years. And of course, we can just see what the people who lived under both systems have to say:

And it's the height of ignorance to think that communism is a 19th century ideology that hasn't been successfully evolving for over a century. I knew that UK education system was bad, but holy shit that's embarrassing.

Polls are not economic data

Here you go, Hungary versus the only mildly successful communist country in history, Vietnam

Ah yes, Vietnam that US empire razed to the ground. Very intelligent comparison from a very intelligent person. Why don't we compare with another communist country called China?
