Everything went to shit once the soviet union collapsed. The ruling elite used to be terrified of communism doing well and turning heads so they'd throw the plebs a few bones (health care, public services, etc) to keep us sweet.
@anon_opin So, what I'm hearing is communism is a good thing...
...you could be right 😏
@anon_opin I think many Balts may disagree, amongst others.
@anon_opin the Soviet Union had a lot of problems though. We should do communism better, without the baggage brought on by the protofascist White Invasion and the purges
@anon_opin Possibly a bit of truth in that. Origin Story did a whole season of podcasts on the Communists, following up with "the left" in general. I'd recommend it to anyone vaguely interested in expanding their knowledge of it all, it's equally super interesting and horrifying.
