What exactly is wild? You're unfamiliar with the modern day DPRK?

Also, unions weren't outlawed in the USSR nor China. They both had/have a single giant union. Both governments serve(d) to protect the working from the ruling class.
You don't really need a union to negotiate terms in the same was as you do in the west. You already have universal health care, housing, education, etc.. I suppose the union could serve to protect workers from safety issues, which I'm sure wouldn't be a huge issue in a socialist environment.
Living conditions in China are surpassing the west. Education is one of the primary focuses, just as it was in the USSR. An educated work force is a happy, productive work force.
I think your opinion of the east may be a little outdated, and much of it was most likely never true.. The US budgets millions to just make shit up. I'm sure European countries and the UK play the same manipulative game.
Progress is happening very quickly. Anyways, I wish you well. We hold different opinions, but I think we're on the same side of the war.
This is an interesting statement. You do realize I was talking about the Soviet Union, yeah? You're attempting to make an outrageous statement about the ultimate union. The one comprised of the entire working class.
I do understand that a westerner would find it hard to imagine, which is expected. We work jobs we often hate for less than we're worth, all while being one slip away from being homeless. It's not great.
Absolutely. A couple of great books:
This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong
You can lead a noob to water, but you can't make them drink.
There's currently a reading group going over This Soviet World @ https://lemmygrad.ml/post/12259962
It's pretty good!
The red scare hasn't died off, even after the USSR was killed. I highly suggest digging into some good literature. You can't expect the very exploitative west to offer up any unbiased information.
The world needs to continue the de-americanization. Let it die.
Fair enough. The shithole I'm located in relies on coal for the most part, because why wouldn't it. There is quite a bit of renewable energy that was setup before the current administration chopped the incentives, though.
You sound proud. The US is a shit stain.
I'm sure the ultra rich have nothing to do with the United States' faux democracy. It's definitely the Russians.
The only difference is the drivetrain.
The US has always been evil. This behavior isn't new.
The jig is up.
