    No, you’re not free to do this under capitalism unless you happen to be born into at least some moderate wealth.

    Define moderate wealth in a way that excludes a significant portion of the population. There are counter-examples all the way down.

    I can only assume that you’re not aware of the second world war that devastated USSR.

    Devastated all of Europe, or so I’m told. And yet things weren’t even a tenth as bad elsewhere. And that only obviates the housing issue… the coffin problems issue was completely about keeping some out of universities where they simply were not welcome. Education for some, factory work for others… like everywhere else. (Hell, even in the US you wouldn’t be kept out of university if simply by being jewish alone, the way that it was in the Soviet Union).

    That’s pretty big news to me given that homelessness is rampant in capitalist states.

    It’s pretty big news to you that the homeless aren’t starving? Or do you often run around confusing food with housing?

    Just thinking about what kind of human garbage one has to be to write that sentence.

    Compared to the sort of human garbage that implemented it as policy for decades? Or do you mean that I’m politically inconvenient because I recognize it as such?

      Here’s an actual study for you with some numbers https://www.huffpost.com/entry/too-often-student-success_b_10132886

      Devastated all of Europe, or so I’m told.

      US invested billions into rebuilding Europe while dragging USSR into Cold War. You’re showing amazing amounts of historical illiteracy here.

      It’s pretty big news to you that the homeless aren’t starving? Or do you often run around confusing food with housing?

      Literally linked you an article showing that 30 million people in US are food insecure.

      Compared to the sort of human garbage that implemented it as policy for decades? Or do you mean that I’m politically inconvenient because I recognize it as such?

      You certainly do strike me as precisely the kind of person who would interpret it as such.
