    Between this and all the North Korea stories, I’m convinced capitalists think socialism is just one big battle royale.

    The Bolsheviks gathered every citizen in Russia and dropped them outta a big plane to fight to the death.

      My uncle once told me I wouldn’t survive a single day in a socialist country. When pressed for why he basically said they’d kill me for being white under the assumption I’m rich, so they can loot my corpse for valuables

      and unlike Fortnight, they don’t have para-gliders or parachutes. Despite this senseless violence internally and shooting each other they were able to build nuclear weapons and nuclear power. The nuclear power plants sometimes melted down, but that just made living in the USSR more exciting. Just like Fortnight there is a zone that keeps on getting bigger that you just can’t live in while other people are competing for fewer and fewer available resources. Fortnight is an accurate depiction of life in the USSR that somehow was a threat to the United States.
