Yeah that's why the Soviet union outcompeted capitalism in the 1980s lmao

That you had to qualify it with a date after it had been corrupted by the west, implies that you’re well aware of how well communism served for half a century before that.

They went from a nation of dirt poor peasants, to a nuclear superpower driving the space race in just a couple of decades. All thanks to communism. And also why China is leaving us in the dust.

There are many instances of communism failing lmao

There are also many current communist states that have less freedom than many capitalist states

Also, you need to ask the Uyghurs how they're feeling about their experience under the communist government you're speaking so highly of at the moment.

Everytime people ask regular Uyghurs, they're usually happy enough with it. I'm guessing you mean ask Adrian Zenz and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation to tell the Uyghurs what they think.
