    Communism absolutely works, it’s an irrefutable fact. Communists are currently running the largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity, with the largest reduction of poverty in history and a regularly lowering wealth inequality. Historically, countries like Russia, China, Cuba, etc saw doublings of life expectancy, free healthcare and education, over triplings of literacy rates to 99.9%, and more. This is all publicly available information.

      …And if you disagree, to the gulag with you! 😂😂😂

      I’m starting to think that your idea of an ‘irrefutable fact’ just means that someone isn’t legally allowed to disagree and if they do, the government gets to dispose of them.

      I’m sure Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot would think your ideas are wonderful.

        What an… “interesting” way to put words in my mouth, lmao. Gulag incarceration rates were lower than US imprisonment, by the way.

        Also, Pol Pot shouldn’t be grouped with Marxists, he denounced Marxism and practiced his own thing.

                  And if you had your way, I’d be required to read them or be lined up against a wall and shot dead if I refused.

                    No? Very silly fanfiction you’ve got there. I do think in a future Socialist society Marxism-Leninism should be taught in schools, same with history, but the idea that you’d be shot and killed for refusing to do so is laughable.
