Are there any communist or socialist societies existing today? - Hexbear
hexbear.net
I'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

A bullheaded poster on the level of LiberalSocialist has been fused to the spirit of a reddit CIAnarchist, and its fucking hilarious

their account is very recent, probably made for this very thread.

plz don’t ban them its so much fun

oh no they PM’ing my Hexbear account now oh lawd they mad

they’ve been combing through the account them must have been pissed off

small addition for my pride’s sake: Lemmygrad accounts cannot see my hexbear account, and since it is the one arguing in quite a lot of the post, without it there would be a lot of context missing and not asmany funny CIAnarchist moments.

Update: Even more PMs, the lib won’t shut up

should I summon them?

    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.

        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.
