@Migueldeicaza ironically, 'Posted on X'
@Migueldeicaza I never hated socialism though. Rationally, it is one of the few political models that holds up even if I assume I'm average.
@Migueldeicaza The US is a strange place where socialism means the social safety net.
@Migueldeicaza It's like the video of the MAGA guy in an interview telling the reporter "Truckers should own a refinery so they can get their diesel at a decent price!" and the reporter comes back with "So you believe in socialism?" and you can just see the guy's brain breaking but won't back down that that's not socialism.
@Migueldeicaza @grumpygamer To be honest: no, that's nonsense. I actually experienced socialism firsthand, and you definitely wouldn't want to live under it.
@Migueldeicaza And has made millions off their own political career!!! Covered for healthcare for life after two years! Socialism???
@Migueldeicaza no. I just grew up in USSR
@Migueldeicaza I hate the kind that devastated my country and many others.
@Migueldeicaza And you hate the version that was abused by ruthless to subjugate people, and the versions that were fought by the US of A with all kinds of violence and influence because it's bad for business.
@Migueldeicaza I also hate the version that existed in Eastern Europe in the 20th Century.
The people who built some of the world's oldest cities some 10,000 years ago seemed to know how Socialism works without a paranoid security state. No signs of any inequality. Everyone owned the same stuff, wore the same clothes and jewelry, lived in the same houses, shared everything, nobody was better or worse off than anybody else. Everyone ate the same food. People everywhere in those early cities were equally healthy. There are no signs of any kind of nobility, no palaces, nothing.
@LordCaramac there is a great book - “bloodlands: Europe between hitler and stalin”
@Migueldeicaza I feel indifferent towards socialism, but dislike some socialists. I feel like people who attach their whole identity to some label can be extremely dogmatic.
@Migueldeicaza Yes. That and the fact that most in the US see themselves as a future someone with 4 houses and 3 yachts.
