How about starving to death because your country is considered too ideologically unstable to trust it with grain? Or being shot by NKVD because your neighbour wanted to have your cupboard shelf in the communal kitchen?

It's cool to laugh at capitalism and want more socialist policies enacted, or hell, even desire complete overthrow of capitalism. What is extremely uncool, however, is to be dumb enough to think that Stalinist USSR or Maoist China were some beacons of socialist ideals where things were significantly better than in capitalist states of the time. They weren't.

“Stalin: Better Than The American Prison-Industrial Complex!” is the weakest of weak compliments, to be fair

It wasn't better either. And not just because people died in droves in gulags at unprecedented rates (only rivaled by literal nazi death camps), but if we look at percentages, America right now has 666 (heh) prisoners per 100,000 citizens. USSR had 1200-1500 in the 1940s.

They had a lot of prisoners during and after WW2? How the hell could that happen?
And what's your documentation for so many dying in the GULAG? Most info I've read said the highest casualties were during the war, when they reached 20%. However, I'm forgiving because they were locked into a struggle to the death, and allocating all your resources to stave off Hitlerism is a pretty reasonable choice. Otherwise, the rates were high during times of general starvation in the country.
What's more, rates of starvation were pretty severe throughout the country during those periods. There was no specific plot to starve Ukrainians, and the Holodomor was Nazi-propaganda that only gained credence in the West in the 1980s, as pro-Nazi Ukrainians used it to drum up support against the Soviet Union. It's a shame so many of the brave anti-communist fighters supported pogroms and massacres. But I guess you align with that side, so what are you going to do?

Oh my goodness, at first I thought you were just making a poorly understood joke, but you're actually a loving moron tankie. Just gently caress off with your half-learned half-truths, mate.

I meant in absolute numbers. Remember, we're comparing a dictatorship where people were being incarcerated in droves for nothing and a country that's supposed to have some semblance of a justice system with presumption of innocence.
Sure, America is also poo poo. Two things can be equally poo poo for different reasons (coming from different holes, if you will). Gorging yourself on horse poo poo after correctly identifying dog poo poo still indicates not a very bright person.

I wonder if they even bother to do the "dilution" thing or it's just straight up sugar that's never even come into contact with hyper-diluted water with essence of duck liver or w/e. I mean it's not like anyone's ever going to check.

Can I sell regular sugar with a label that says it has all effects of Oscillococcinum for a fraction of the price? I doubt the company that produces sugar pills would want to dispute my claims in court.

That would be great, imo, and I'd throw a 20 for that goon project just to gently caress with Subway (I hate their stupid sandwiches). On the other hand, 500 dollars would do more good for the forums if donated directly to Lowtax. I'm torn.
