  • Im not sure what you mean by socialist countries. But communists countries are more oppresive:

    • They have leaders that stay in power for decades. Opposition is often punished.
    • There is nor freedom of speech, speaking against the government gets you in jail or worse.
    • In some of those countries, people are not allowed to leave the country.

    And for the record, I agree that poverty is extremely oppressive as well and we need more socialist reforms in capitalist countries, tax harder the rich, break monopolies, foster more unions and so on, I just dont agree that communism is the magical land you all think it is and the solution to all the problems. Nobody seems to want immigrate to North Korea for a reason.




  • First than anything, great taste in music my dude. Ok, fair point, these countries have it hard because of economic sanctions, but that doesn’t explain why they all devolve into a tyrannical, corrupt and repressive systems where people are forced to stay and a great majority seems to want to leave. People just don’t have free will and freedom of speech in these places. Is not a coincidence, its by design, communism is intentionally “the dictatorship of the working class”.

    And don’t get me wrong, I dislike very much the unregulated capitalistic system of the USA too, yet a lot of people in the world seem to want to live there instead of any communist country. If I those were my only options, I would hate it, but I would choose the same.










  • Spoiler alert for the fight club:

    Im not sure that hypothesis fits. At the end she gets captured and delivered to the dude. In that scene everybody interacts with both characters. Also if I remember correctly, when they are both hugging in the support group, the therapist approach them, looks at them both “supporting” each other and nods. That scene wouldnt make sense if he was there alone just standing by himself.
