Very glib. My point remains though - if this stuff were popular, it would be used more. So why don’t we have it in the US? How do you propose to get around that?
Your point does not stand at all, you shared an anecdote. There is no empirical data supporting your claim, in actuality the majority of the people who lived during the time of the Soviet Union say they miss it and life was better in the USSR.
You didn’t address any of my questions. If this stuff is so popular, why isn’t it used more? How do you propose to overcome the objections of the vast majority of Americans and Europeans, including the rich and powerful?
Finish your argument before you start a new one sweetie. You made a claim that you could not back up, the available empirical data opposes your claim, and yet you declare your point still stands. It does not.
In a proper civil dialogue we conclude disagreements before moving on to the next wall you’ve thrown shit at to see what sticks. So if you want to ask questions and get them answered, then you gotta show yourself to be acting in good faith as well. This requires behaving like a normal person and not some little weasely booger who cannot admit fault or themself answer any questions - In your case you gotta either admit you were wrong, provide reasonable critique for why the data is not applicable (this of course requires you read the texts you have been given, something I doubt you will ever do, you types rarely even make it past the headline and even then it is typically only a brief skim, feverishly hunting for some sentence you can misinterpret) or provide sufficient empirical data that can help create a working hypothesis alongside the other data.
Ok great some people affected liked it. You win and have a huge penis.
That does not mean it is popular here and I still don’t see a way forward for it.
Until we all see that, we will generally bounce between unregulated capitalism and (what I favor) which is well regulated capitalism with worker and environmental protections.

If only that were true. Unfortunately the next stop on your train is fascism not better regulation.
"You don’t have a good example because I know a handful of people (who children or not born when the USSR dissolved)
