I see some university smoothie kids criticize Western capitalism and praise USSR times, wearing T-shirts with Che Guevara β¦ Well, let me share some facts about USSR everyday life:
1)Β Β Β Β Up till 1970ties, villagers could not leave their places of residence without permission, and worked for βworkday unitsβ that could be exchanged to goods. No documents, no money, like serfs. My grandparents were living like that. Not in 18-19th century like in your country, but in 2nd half of 20th!
2) In USSR, doing ANY business was a criminal offence. E.g. you buy a car and sell it at the higher price and they discover it, you go to prison. That’s why the first business in 1990ties was founded by semi-criminal groups, they at least had some organized business processes.
3) Since I mentioned the car, you should know that its cost was equivalent to 5 years income of average Soviet citizen, so if you eat and dress, it means 10 years. But even if you had money, you could not just buy it. You had to wait 5-10 years until it gets produced. You had to wait years to get a flat, a furniture, anything. We’ve got really big shopping malls just about 20 years ago.
4) You had to repair your car yourself, there was no special service. You had to do anything else with your own hands, from plumbing and electricity to building a house and refurbishing your apartment. In older generation, there is still a remaining gender stereotype of “real man” as the one who can do anything with his hands.
5) The food in city shops was scarce and not fresh. I still remember the smell of rotten vegetables. Some were lucky though, as they had parents in villages who were supplying vegetables and meat to their urbanized children. Again, do-it-yourself philosophy. Again, people from the older generation still grow their own potatoes even though it’s cheaper to buy them in a supermarket.
6) Dentists from horror movies. No anesthetics, a challenge for real βtoxic masculinityβ men (and women too, also kids when needed). Those who remember the times still have a phobia of dentists.
7) No toilet paper. We used newspapers and books of Lenin for this purpose. This is how I read some parts of themβ¦
And thatβs all about relatively good times, not bloody carnages of 1920-1930ties and forced suicide attacks in WW2. Stalin was the 2nd mass murderer in history after Mao. He was more bloodier than Hitler. So take your smoothie, and find better things to do if you do not want full immersion into all the above. Some folks similar to you shared nukes technology with commies in 1940ties, as they believed they were making better world, and now your government doesn’t know what to do with Russian nukes.

Comment from:
A man went to Hell where he was greeted by Satan who said βWelcome to Hell. We have a choice of two versions here. Which one would you prefer?β The man asked, βCan you tell me the differences?β βI can do better. Iβll show youβ, replied Satan. He opened a heavy iron door marked βCAPITALIST HELLβ, so that the man could look inside He saw naked people being forced to walk on burning coals while demons goaded them with pitch-forks, poured boiling oil on them and hit them with boards with nails in them. βOh, that doesnβt look very good.” he said. Satan opened a door labelled βCOMMUNIST HELLβ. Inside were naked people being forced to walk on burning coals while demons goaded them with pitch-forks, poured boiling oil on them and hit them with boards with nails in them. βThat doesnβt look any betterβ said the man. Satan replied, βIβve read your resume and youβre my kind of guy. You beat your wife and cheated on her, stole money from your business partners and pushed a nun into a puddle when she asked you for a donation for a kidβs charity. Go with the Communist Hellβ. βWhy?β asked the man. Satan answered, βBecause sometimes thereβs no coal, and sometimes thereβs no oil, and sometimes there are no pitchforks andβ¦.β
And mass murderer Che Guevara co-founded a regime dedicated to abolishing almost everything todayβs Gen Z’ers hold dear. Most victims of his firing squad massacres were Cuban youths in their twenties. Many as young as 16. Some even younger.
An alleged βguerrilla heroβ who in real life never fought in a guerrilla war. A cold-blooded killer who executed thousands without trial, who claimed that judicial evidence was an βunnecessary bourgeois detail,β who stressed that βrevolutionaries must become cold killing machines motivated by pure hate,β who stayed up till dawn for months at a time signing death warrants in his office in La Cabana that had a window from where he could watch the executions.
Today his T-shirt face adorn young Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) people who oppose capital punishmentβ¦If population-level ignorance was to blame, enlightenment and education would be a remedyβ¦ but there’s no excuse for Wilful Blindness and Hypocrisy.
Eric Hobsbawm; the British analogue of Noam Chomsky or Bernie Sanders, escaped the Nazis, came to Britain, had a stellar career in academia and spent his life promoting communism. His putrid bullshit theories are still taught in British universities to this day.
In a 1994 interview with Michael Ignatieff he famously claimed that if the Soviet Union had succeeded in creating a true communist society, it would have been worth the deaths of the twenty million people who perished under Stalin.
That is the gormless mindset of the feckless students today who wear berets and Guevara T-shirts.
They were still around when I was studying and fuck me theyβre still around today. The type of middle class pricks who attend Glasto every year.
They are tankies.
Tankies, or cunts; to use the technical term, of course always support putler.
by the way,
it must be said that it was another era and that the capitalists of that time were no less brutal
here’s another way of looking at things:

Noam Chomsky commented on the American intervention in a lecture given in 1985 :
β[β¦] we managed to interrupt, in 1954, a democratic experiment. However, it was a reformist, capitalist and democratic regime, of the new deal type , which our intervention made it possible to eliminate, leaving in its place a veritable hell on earth, probably the regime of the contemporary period closest to Nazi Germany.

The roaches can have all the soviet union garbage they can wish for. They can live like pigs, drink alcohol like fish, beat their wives and kids, stand in endless lines for a banana, drive cars 40 years behind in technology, live in trashed hovels, or whatever else the soviet union had to offer. Just leave Ukraine alone!
