I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown both.

It was many factions. I’m just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn’t trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you’re painting him to be.

That’s not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn’t automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

Weird, I was under the impression that the purges happened after Lenin died. Can ghosts lead a purge?

Profit sharing fixes all of this because it provides incentives for everyone to go the extra mile so they can make more money.

The watch and the gun. If Ash can figure out how to manufacture shotgun shells in medieval times so can I. I’ll also introduce the clock early and be praised for my genius

Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time

Looking at their space station, I think China already has overtaken NASA.

The bar in the picture says it’s a kilo which is $65, 344. While I could agree with OP that 10 kilos would give you an average house in higher priced areas like new York or LA, it would definitely buy you several nice houses in 1920.

That’s solidarity right there

For me it’s more like “enjoy yesterday and pay currently.” My booty hurts

I’ll be far too full after eating the rich to also eat the janitor.

Companies get by making keyboards and power supplies all the time.

Anyone who supports a corporation is just a big dumb dummy.

Well according to the previous math, they retained 10% of their revenue and 75% of their profits. I know, math is hard.

Well I think this article and comment section is a clear indication of the power of this information when used for propaganda.

That’s because it’s being applied to Western standards. China spends a crazy amount of money on social welfare and government assistance. Minimum wage is around or less than 2000 Yuan a month around the country, yes. But, that’s completely ignoring currency exchange rates and cost of living.

Cost of living in Shanghai and Beijing are around 4,500 Yuan. Which means a couple or two roommates can live on minimum wage in the biggest cities. Compare that to minimum wage and cost of living in New York City or LA which is $1,280 a month, costing $4,300 and 1,342 a month, costing $5,576 respectively.

Tldr: how much money you make is only relevant when compared to your cost of living. It’s not hard to live in China on $300 a month.
