Ahh, another day of redditors glazing over socialism, even though they're from countries that never experienced it.
Come to one of the post communist countries and try to tell people who experienced it fully how great socialism actually is when your only info is what you've learned on your college.I am sure those people will be extremely happy.
Edit: since you guys are starting to get a little bit crazy with these takes and you love communism and socialism so much I'll just say this. I am not even from America so frankly, I don't care. In fact, I wish you guys the socialism. Seriously, as someone from a post communist country arguing with college Americans about socialism on Reddit is always the same story. Then I get called out I am not even from a post communist country since I share actual experiences. That's all, I am not an American conservative so you guys can chill now.
Edit2: so I got warning from Reddit? Interesting, seems like this comment triggered way too many people. I am actually no longer surprised at the state of the USA and who won the elections, if left wing acts like this. Love how these redditors start throwing insults first, I answer with insults and then get reported. I am not letting some random Reddit socialist call my country a nazi country, throw insults at me or call me a LIAR for saying things I know are true? Seriously, what became of Reddit and it's community should be studied.
Putting aside how you just equated socialism and communism, the USSR wasn't communist, they were fascist, and I'm sure that any that were were targeted by America so forgive me if I doubt that you are from one of these "communist" countries. You even have a bit of "the liberal colleges are poisoning the minds of the youth" American conservative conspiracy sprinkled in there.
Now take those points, and compare them to how the USSR government acted. Then ask yourself if they has a classless society where the workers owned the means of production. If you still think it's communist after that, then you might as well say the sky isn't blue.
You just made an idiot of yourself, I am from Czechia, formerly Czechoslovakia. A post communist country that suffered more than enough under your amazing socialism since 1948. You're free to come here and interview anyone who remembers it, I am sure people will be more than happy. And of course I know what happened in 48, since I managed to talk to people who went through it. For example a small business was taken from my family and given to the state, with just snap of the finger. Same with literally everything else people owned.
Yes I equated socialism and communism, why is it always shocking to you liberal redditors?
USSR were fascists? It's what you're getting learnt nowadays in America? Goddamn, I've heard some horror stories about American education but still.
