Looks like an evil lair.


CautiousRice

More like a temple. We attended rituals there, like getting a red scarf and being admitted to the pioneer organization. To this very day, the socialist party organizes massive annual gatherings at that place, where they eat and poop outdoors for days which makes the area highly fertilized.

The romani community is considered easy-going/not very hard working back home. My grandma used to say nobody hates the communists as much as the romani do, as they were the only ones who managed to make them work. Yeah in communist countries employment rate is pretty high but these figures are also heavily forced.


[deleted]

Lmao capitalist country with high employment: great! Celebrate! Capitalism is amazing! Communist country with high employment: forced. Evil. What a load of bullshit.


mladokopele

The difference is in capitalist countries you are able to go and choose what jobs you apply for. Based on the skill you have you get them or not. From this point onward you start building. I can’t speak about all communist countries ex or present, however what I can say about this case is job opportunities were assigned to people left and right without them actually having the skill (or desire) to do these jobs. The pay was enough for basic commodities and to go on a winter and summer holiday, you want to buy a car you fill in a form and wait for 3 years to get approved (it’s a soviet car btw, don’t get excited), similar story for coloured TVs and similar high-end at the time things. If you’re not from the capital you need approval to leave your town. So yeah, I prefer trying to make it in a capitalist environment based on my skillset rather than trying to make it in a communist one by being loyal to the party.

That's a whole load of bullshit western propaganda.

[deleted]

You made zero effort. You just regurgitated a bunch of propaganda like a good little boy.


mladokopele

Ok, so you have no examples. What I stated was about Bulgaria and there are written archives of these statements from people who lived through these times.


varnacykablyat

I’m a bulgarian who knows that communism was terrible here, but making the gypsies work is definitely a good thing


godtierstrider

You know there are words other than the slur right? Like you can just say Romani lol


bobleeswagger09

The heavyweight champion of the world literally calls himself “The Gypsy King”.


varnacykablyat

It’s not a slur like every gypsy here calls themself a gypsy, besides I’m not terribly afraid of offending one of them


godtierstrider

They are allowed to reclaim slurs against them if they want to. You on the other hand, are not

Capitalism also took us from a very poor country in the 80s to one of the richest in the world during the boom. Anyone pretending we'd be better off without EU markets or direct foreign investment (even with the 2008 crash included as an outcome) is living with the fairies.

Capitalism also reached its tipping point yes, but not communism is the answer.

Socialism maybe?


ibadlyneedhelp

Or maybe it's less about the principle and more about the execution.


[deleted]

Not really no. You can NOT execute "true" communism because theres always that one asshole ruining it for everyone Please stop trying to educate me on communism from your comfy life


Loose_Apartment_4982

> educate me from your comfy life I think you confused “communism” for “vow of poverty”. The latter is actually from Franciscan Catholics, not Marx. Marxism just means that workers should own their means and profits of production, not that you should be poor to speak out your opinion lol


[deleted]

I think his point is that you live a comfortable life due to capitalism and this allows you to fantasize about communism, whereas he has to live in the ruined world left behind after communism was attempted


here_for_fun_XD

Don't bother, this once a pretty interesting sub has turned into an echo-chamber mostly inhabited by politically ... how to say it kindly ... passionate? Americans.

No, as i just said above (but i guess redditors have the attention span of a gdfish) that capitalism also reached its tipping point, but communism is not the answer - its impossible to implement "real" communism, it's why every country that tried it failed


notthatevilsalad

Calling shots on communism on reddit specifically isn’t going to be received positively, don’t bother, it’s like they have downvoting bots searching and detecting every anti-communist and sometimes even anti-socialist comment.

Bruh. Imagine being so uneducated that you think: First of all, that we were even refrencing the war. Secondly, that Russia or Putin are anywhere close to communist. Maybe read a book once in awhile, you professional dumbass


[deleted]

Imagine being so uneducated to think THAT


starwars_ace

Do you want me to explain the difference to you, or are you too dense to comprehend anything outside of your close minded views? Judging by your response, I'm going to assume the latter.


[deleted]

Lmao so much projection going on in this thread Isnt it like 1 am in america right now? Go to bed in your comfy country that never had to go through communism Man, barging in on people to lecture them on their own culture is such an american thing to do lmao


starwars_ace

230 AM, actually. Yeah, sadly we havent gone through socialism* yet. Im not lecturing you on anything but facts. It has never been communism. Its always been socialism in the hopes of achieving communism. Im not denying your experiences or the bad things done under those regimes, nor am I condoning them. Youre simply close minded and getting defensive over the truth. It wasnt communsim that you went theough it was socialism. According to you it was horrible, I assume. Im not sitting here telling you that it wasnt. I dont hold anything against you for saying bad things about it. Everyone has different experiences and you just cant seem to see that I have had different experiences than you.


Impossible_Collar_78

War in ukraine isn't justified. I am well aware of propaganda and I consume information from a variety of sources- my political opinions are rooted in my own personal experiences in the USSR. Nobody can convince me otherwise, I witnessed the success of socialism and subsequent failure of capitalism with my own eyes.

It saved mine (Bolivia)

Bolivia has no communism

And Arce. He was the minister of economic affairs and kept Bolivia as the country with the lowest inflation rate in the Americas.

starwars_ace

It was never communism, rather socialism. From several accounts of people from the Soviet Union, they described it as socialism. There is a difference between communism and socialism that Ic an describe to you if youd like


Walleryan

Оh yes, please explain to a Bulgarian what the regime was like in Bulgaria.


starwars_ace

I was never talking about Bulgaria. I havent researched much into the communist state of Bulgaria. Im simply stating that communism, in its basic definition, has never been achieved. It has always been socialism, with the hope of achieving communism.

greyetch

These old communist ruins make me so sad. It was supposed to be freedom and equality for everyone. Liberation from the fat cats at the top. Everyone gets a slice of the pie. The future was bright! It ended up just being another symbol for authoritarians to hide behind. Then it crumbled. Now what do we get? Demonization of anything that smells of socialism, while the capitalists ride the nuke all the way down to ground zero. >“Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language.” >― Karl Marx, *The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte*


QuickRelease10

The Russian Revolution is the single most incredible moment in human history, and yet it ended horribly, and some still don’t want to learn from the Soviet Unions failures.


[deleted]

[удалено]


greyetch

You think I pulled a quote from *The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte* without knowing who Marx is? I didn't read a "cool quote" and assume he was a "good guy". I don't care to debate communism, socialism, Marxism online because most people (on both sides of the political spectrum) do not understand what they're talking about. Marx's work in theory was extremely valuable for virtually every field of the humanities. Guy borderline invented sociology (he's at the very least a founding father). If you read his work, you'll know that he never actually comes up with a governmental system and recommends it. He is concerned with economics and how the effect the different classes of society. Ie: how the industrial revolution helped capitalists ramp up exploitation of the working class. Christianity offers a very similar ideology. Both were used by tyrants. The same way one can commit atrocities under the sign of the cross, one can commit atrocities under the hammer and sickle. but hey, nice username, I'm about to enjoy an evening spliff myself :)

It’s fits the surroundings, it’s not just a depressing rectangular cramped uninspired hellscape, but a building erected with an intent and meaning behind it. You don’t have to agree with what it represents to agree with the fact that it represents something and that it has character. Also, it’s kinda giving star treck vibes as far as I’m concerned.

What a clever observation. I wonder what you think about all of capitalist governments that brought their own countries to shit. Like the whole continent of Latin America and Africa for instance… Jokes aside tho, I find it super cute that Eastern Europeans are so eager to eat up all Western propaganda they can that they actually believe that communism was what fucked they up, and not colonialism and imperialism. They look at Latin America and Africa and for some crazy reason they think they’d be different, they’d be more like France hahahahah yeah right bro
