Are there any communist or socialist societies existing today? - Hexbear
hexbear.netI've been speaking with other more informed communists and they've told me that
none actually exist. Is this true? China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously
capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory
conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air
is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out
basic masks. Corporations dominate North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the
Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering
millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most
socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic. Cuba: Sanctions
have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still
has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and
aren't self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn't they've use machinery
imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The
Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt

Damn, that is one very lost redditor. I feel kind of bad honestly, this far away from the herd they are easy prey for local predators, assuming their lack of upvotes doesn’t cause them to starve first.
Is this person trying to be a wrecker? I’ve never seen one so bad at it before. This really does just seem like a lost edgy kid, who picked “socialist” as his edgy ideology after flipping a coin.
Don’t
Agreed. It’s helped me a lot to realize the much as I wish otherwise, I do have a limit to my compassion and my energy to show it.
I know there are better people and causes out there, so if I can spare emotional labor/benefit of the doubt, I want to be discerning enough to not waste it.
