China is socialist. Socialist countries can have market economies and even capitalist economies, as long as the dictatorship of the proletariat ultimately controls all of the economy. Just a reminder China's killed multiple billionaires.

Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.

You do if you don't browse all and instead curate your own feed.

Oh, right, ml instance. Anyway class war is the only war and you can be racist against white people.

It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There's more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.

That was literally every instance of employment your parents and their parents and so on did.

While I agree the concept of work is bad and we should do everything possible to make sure no one ever works again, jobs programs aren't crimes against humanity. Neither are housing investment programs or schools

They still do, if the rest of the original treaty is upheld.

Yeah the reason is primarily corruption. There's a reason so many Americans specifically related to the state dept either quit their jobs and took up in Ukrainian companies, or directly started investing in Ukraine in the lead up to 2014 and the eventually coup that lead to zelensky being in power. Ukraine isn't special. It holds no real significance for a US company or investment firm based on its laws or government. But cheap mineral rights and a complete lack of environmental regulation thanks to a captured government? That's just easy money that also denies a self made US enemy that easy money. And all for the price of the Ukrainian population.

Yeah Stalin still had issues and it was awful that the working theory at the time was homosexuality was a result of western decadence since literally all the rich people they found were doing weird sex stuff and Germany and the US killed all the gay communists and socialists they could and burned their books so there was no real example they could find of any 'deviance' being innate.

That all being said towards the end the crack down wire off and five years labor is still better than what any other country at the time did to cure the gays.

If they're smart, they will. If they're not smart they will need to hope they can afford to give their security team better health insurance than they themselves offer, otherwise we will see repeats of the reason you're personally allowed to be outside of your company owned work house.
