        No, that’s what had made me a liberal before lol.

        It’s very funny to blame “communist propaganda” when all my schooling was from a capitalist perspective. I never even knew what communism was until I searched for alternatives because of being dissatisfied with the existing system.

          If you think communism is a solution to your problems, you’re dead wrong. You’ve been told things you wanted to hear, not the truth how communist state looks like in real life.

            “Been told” lol. I’m reminded of back in high school when I told my parents I thought gay people should have rights and they responded “who’s putting these crazy ideas into your head?” It is, in fact, possible for me to come to conclusions on my own.

              I remember my father telling me how he miraculously managed to get permit to leave the country in the 80s to work in capitalist Europe. He returned with insane fortune of like, $500, which he later spent on paying off mortgage when system fell apart in the 90s.

                It’s tragic that your family had to spend that money on a mortgage because the state that provided free (or heavily subsidized) housing collapsed. Fucking capitalism, amirite?

                  state that provided free (or heavily subsidized) housing

                  You weren’t getting any housing in that system. You could enlist in a queue and wait for 20-30 years to get piss poor commie block apartment. My father was one of very few people who were just well enough for building a house. He was struggling with money, rationing of materials, corruption and poor quality of work, while our family of four lived in 20m2 apartment like animals in stables.

                  Transformation just uncovered all the lies and sins of previous communist system. Once state run enterprises were allowed to file banktruptcy 30% of them failed immediately. Country was also hit by hyperinflation like a hammer because previous system was printing money like crazy and “fixing” it by price controls and food rationing.

    Good, physical labor is the worst. Don’t reply if you’ve never depended on it for your income

          I worked for a “family” paving company for 7 years. Worst 7 years of my life. Even 5 years later in still dealing with the backlog of health problems I accumulated working there

      Depends on the physical labor. Pushing boxes out of trucks in an air conditioned building is fine. Hauling steel out in the hot sun sucks.

              Wait, being directly cited as not being akin to the three states I listed is a bad thing?

              I couldn’t disagree more.

                That’s not what you did. If that’s what you were trying you may want to give it another pass.

                  Frankly, I very much believe this is a reading issue more than a writing issue, but I do agree the solution is “give it another pass.”

                  Right now we have a data set of 1/1 that had issues comprehending what I meant. When both sides of that number tick up, we can talk about the data tending towards that it was poorly written.

                  If santa, the tooth fairy, and khan can all live on in the minds of dreamers, so too can chicken/bell/hut live in our hearts.

                  What they have written is confident and not comparing the food to the fasciats.

    Is this meant to suggest that reactionaries aren’t work-shy as hell? That would be a lie. They all want some bullshit media career as much as any liberal.
