    Capitalism is an evolution on previous class societies, not the first one, yes. Socialist countries have eradicated poverty with comparison to their pre-Socialist systems, and that can and should be recognized.

      No they didn’t. They made everyone but a small group of leaders poor, and redefined poverty

          I understand you’re a tankie and idolize Stalin, but being worked to death in a gulag because you were Jewish, or a doctor isn’t exactly a safety net most people want

            1. What makes someone a tankie? Being a Marxist?

            2. Don’t idolize Stalin, so wrong there

            3. People were not worked to death in Gulags because they were Jewish, Double Genocide Theory is a form of Holocaust Denial that was put forth by Nazis in the years following WWII.

            4. Doctors were not worked to death in Gulags for being doctors, what are you talking about?

            None of your comment makes any sense.
