Can someone please explain why anyone would want to live under socialism?

Gee I don't know. Putting people before profits, sharing and working towards making life better for the majority not renaming royalty and the aristocracy and calling it freedom.

@JAYS21 Lol. You are joking right? Several but probably the most obvious that even bs propagandists can't refute is the USSR. In a generation they went from a medieval open air museum that used wooden plows to a nuclear super power. The only nation to do better is China under the communist party. The same can be said of Venezuela and there the changes were far less transformative. Cuba went from being literally a vacation island for gangsters to a nation with the best healthcare in the region.

@JAYS21 Actually no. That his historical fact. You are the one who seems to be operating from 50 year old anti soviet propaganda. Nothing I stated is inaccurate.

@JAYS21 Lol.

1) that flat out flies in the face of historical facts that have been public domain since the 50s but I understand you have to believe only Americans can invent anything ever. I mean you guys think you invented democracy. lol

And in Canada and the US at least 1 million Chinese were killed just to build a railroad. Bad things happen during big changes in many countries. And I am curious where you got this 100 million from. Most anti communist shills suck at sources. You seem to leave out very conveniently that after collectivization famines that used to happen every few years became a thing of the past.

And apparently Cuba sucks because you don't like them.

Nice emotional tantrum.

I remember reading an article a few years ago that estimated that up to 200 million people might die from the global fallout of the 2008 banking theft. But hey under capitalism nobody is ever responsible you can just blame "market forces" and everyone goes back to doing it again.

You really believe that? I seem to recall freighters full of grain headed out from American ports to the workers paradise.
