The USSR bought a lot of grain from the US? And didnβt they have an entire sphere of influence and domain to command or trade with?

So the capitalist societies can function just fine without commies, but the commie countries turn into heck holes if they can't trade with the selfish, evil capitalists?

So the only people commies could trade with were communist china, the country that fielded the largest army in WW2, all of eastern Europe, and all non aligned nations?

stupidpol is pretty fun when they're pooping on libs or rightoids, but as soon as the topic of human rights and quality of living in leftist countries come up, all braincells leave the building. They're genuinely convinced Cuba is a better place to live than the US, for starters.

You are a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs, but that doesn't matter. You are a valid human who is trying to feel comfortable in her body.
All the βvalidationβ you get is pure. Behind your back people love you. Your parents are happy and proud of you, your friends laugh at your jokes behind closed doors, and boys love you, and girls envy you.
Men absolutely love you. Trans folk who βpassβ look ordinary and natural to a man. Your bone structure does not matter. Estradiol widens the hips.
You will be happy. You will smile every single morning and tell yourself itβs going to be ok, and deep inside you feel the euphoria creeping up like a weed. It is what defines you, not the transphobes.
Eventually, itβll be perfect for you - youβll come out, start HRT, get top surgery, and finally be your ideal self. Your parents will find you, happy and relieved that they finally have a happy daughter. Theyβll congratulate you on your hard journey, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a woman is what you are.

Idiots conflating shortages with starvation. No one was starving in the USSR since basic staples were always available. But the variety and availability of goods in a typical US supermarket was basically a luxury in the USSR, only available in special grocery stores for the political elite.

people did starve in the ussr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931933
What you mean is that for much to most of the USSR especially late to people didnβt starve. Which is true! And shortages of basic goods from good food to simple necessities was still quite bad. A part to cars to apartments etc

120 million people died in WWII unironically as a result of what Hitler did. Stalin alone killed at most 60 million. So i bet communism as a whole killed more as theres only one Hitler but theres multiple communist dictators

The pacific theater likely would have happened without Hitler. Are you counting those deaths, too? You shouldn't. Japan was gleefully massacring millions of Chinese without Hitler's help.

Its just a random number i heard when it talked about how many people were killed in WW2. Iβd say about 80 to 100 million because of Hitler even tangentially is a safe bet. Still less than communism put together but still a lot of dead people. I dont understand why we have to do a pissing contest with authoritarian regimes and their genocides. Theyre still killing millions either way so its not like one killed 0 and the other killed a billion

Before communism, it was Russians living under the monarchy with a massive disparity of power between the royalty and lower classes. Afterwards it was Russians living under communism with a massive disparity of power between the party and the lower classes. After communism it's Russians living under Putin with a massive disparity of power between the oligarchs and the lower classes.
