      There was semblance of socialism yes. But it wasn’t a socialist government. Also is it really socialist if there are levels of people who get different levels of care, pay, and living conditions?

        There was semblance of socialism yes. But it wasn’t a socialist government.

        What does this mean? Can you offer any explanation beyond “because I said so?”

        Also is it really socialist if there are levels of people who get different levels of care, pay, and living conditions?

        Yes, absolutely. What gave you the idea that Socialism is when everyone gets paid the same? Marx directly argued against that, along with Lenin.

          Because communism counts on the assumption that humans aren’t greedy fucks who are gonna abuse the system anyway they can. A place where everyone is equal? Even the ruling class? Literally impossible
