I thought memes were supposed to be funny... this just looks like a propaganda poster

I mean, propaganda is technically a type of meme, isn't it?

Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn't the best example of a better society we want to be building.

I'm watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.

Socialism allows for both public and private ownership, individual freedoms, and democratic decision-making, while still aiming for social equality. Communism, in contrast, tends to involve total state control and often limits personal freedoms.

Both Capitalism and Socialism have room for public and private ownership, the difference is which sector controls the state, large firms, and key industries. The Nordic Countries are dominated by Private Capital, ie it is Capitalist, while the PRC is dominated by Public Ownership, ie it is Socialist.

Communism limits the personal freedoms of the bourgeoisie. All Communism is, is a more developed and global form of Socialism, where the small firms that once were private have all grown into the public sector or collapsed.

Tell me you've never read anything about communism that wasn't written by anti-communists without telling me you've never read anything about communism that wasn't written by anti-communists.
