    I’ve noticed that a lot of complaints about the people’s republics is that their stuff isn’t fancy enough. Only one kind of soap, only one kind of apartment, only a handful of cars and they were all unimpressive. Antisocialists either never notice or never care that they have the privilege to be picky.

      i mean, their “argument” is:

      one useful version of something

      i sleep

      lots of crappy but colorful versions of the same thing with different names

      good stuff

      Worse yet, they not only criticize the “went from peasant agrarian to industrial powerhouse in around 30 years” they also fail to address that the VAST majority of the “choice” they have is actually just the same 3 international megacorps in a trenchcoat posing as hundreds of brands.

        Not just any industrial powerhouse. Germany is an industrial powerhouse. Italy is an industrial powerhouse.

        Socialism produces industrial powerhouses that are putting people into space, building nuclear reactors and inventing revolutionary technologies.

      Yes. In Poland i only seen pet unfriendlyness move in from the west with the idea of landlord.

      Though of course loud and long barking dogs in commieblocks are fucking nightmare.

        Oh wow, it’s actually super interesting to know that being pet unfriendly is a western thing. I know when my mom went to Europe (she visited multiple countries, none in the east unfortunately) she told me that she saw dogs pretty much everywhere. It’s nearly impossible to find housing in Canada that is both affordable and medium to large dog friendly.
