The Soviet union made such a remarkable success in the space race due to their ego.
If ego was a force that could propel people into space, the US would have colonized other galaxies by now.
Also monarchs famously devoid of ego
The best examples of a democratic state are apparently a state where public opinion has 0% on laws that is actively committing genocide and two de facto one-party far right states set up by the former that are the textbook examples of negative social outcomes resulting from capitalism.
The US, Japan, South Korea are the best examples
You know, the US that were so democratic to genocide the native population of the continent, using slave labor to build their economy while being systematically racist for their whole existence. The country that didn’t have a single war on their soil, brought wars, despair and poverty to the other regions of the world.
Or fucking Japan that was just dumped with money and US control to become their satellite state, just like South Korea. So in order to be a democracy, and not to be the US, you need to totally give up your sovereignty? Is that how it works?
Is that the price that you need to pay to be a democracy? The one of the best examples of it? What the fuck is this guy thinking.
The “justice” and prison system in Japan is what anti-communists think communism is
99% conviction rate
‘crimeless’ society in which the yazuka somehow exist unimpeded, and where the state gives them the nod to go ahead and do whatever they want without intervention
very cool and normal
Jfc, the Soviets went to space due to ego and stolen German science, literally the shit I heard from pointing out their achievements to a family member
There are some real gems down there…Tales of bulletproof dresses, Slavic stereotypes of barbarism lacking ‘‘moderate’’ politics, and smol beaning about monarchies.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
doesn’t justify the millions of deaths though
Obviously that’s bullshit, but let us accept that for argument’s sake. What about the US that killed 10 million indigenous peoples (a conservative estimate) over the nearly 250 nations that existed then and built their economy first with direct slave labor and then via convoluted forms of slave labor (share cropping, or “illegal immigration mostly from Mexico and Central America) not to mention colonialism and neocolonialism. The prosperity of the US is fed by the deaths of potentially hundreds of millions of people, a prosperity given overwhelmingly to just “white” men and some tokens to use as bait.
