      Americans think that universal healthcare is communism. And for Americans communism is the pure evil and thus they prefer to die because they can’t afford life saving treatments instead of working towards implementing an universal health care system.

      If everybody could get insulin (even if they stock shelves or got laid-off from a tech/gig company), that’s when it’s a Joseph Stalin.

      People will ignore all of the genocides and human rights violations communist countries are responsible for and only focus on the small handful of things it does right.

        Genocides and human rights violations are America’s top exports. When did we become commies?

        Good ideas in theory don’t always work the way we foresee, in practice. That doesn’t mean we can’t look at successes and failures and improve the practice or even the ideas. Interestingly, if communism never works, why are certain nations determined to rush in and topple fairly elected communist leaders, before we have a chance to see their ideas in action? Why was Evo Morales demonized?
