Freedom and human rights are shit down the drain and heads straight to soviet kitchen.
It boggles my mind how people today can support such an evil ideology, just because current times are difficult.
Might I suggest moving tf to North Korea, or perhaps don't move to a Liberal cesspool of a city and update the folk online with your personal dilemmas?

Also didn't your elementary school teacher tell you not to cite Wikipedia?
Wikipedia deserves to be represented in that meme.
I was born long before the information super-highway dude

If you're going to call someone stupid, you should probably be grammatically correct when doing it.
Imagine talking about human rights while ignoring the very basic necessities of life. 🤡
Remind me, what was the first European country to legalize abortion? Oh, after that, what was the second country to legalize abortion?
When did soviet women get the right to divorce their husbands?
What was the literacy rate before the soviet union? What was it after? Answer the same questions about women's literacy.
What was the schooling rate before the soviet union? What was it after? Answer the same questions about women's schooling.
What was the college graduation rate before the soviet union? What was it after? Answer the same questions about women's college graduation.
What was the first European state to decriminalize homosexuality? How did the Stasi respond to gay civil rights protestors? What did Castro do upon learning that gay people were being mistreated in (alternative to conscription) labor camps? All of this decades before Lawrence V Texas. Hell, trans people got free transition care in Cuba before Lawrence V Texas. The socialist record on LGBT rights isn't perfect but it is better than capitalist countries. I mean, hell, look at the way capitalist Germany treated lgbt people during the holocaust.
France in 1800.
Huh, TIL. The main point still stands that the soviet union actually made a lot of progress on human rights, even compared to imperialist countries with more accumulated capital.
