    There used to be a country called the

    Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

    It was built on the principles of socialism

    It turns out that actually living in a socialist state is oppressive to the point where millions upon millions were starved because that was what was needed to give socialism the chance to take off in a capitalist world.

      Tell me you’re an American without telling me you’re an American.

      Next up: The Nazis were socialist, it’s in the name!

        I don’t read many books on fucking, but I read quite a bit of history.

        Maybe try some.

        Of course it’s easier to thump your chest on the internet if you gas light people and make ad hominem attacks.

        Their latest comment only adds to the list of things they obviously don’t understand. I hope they have a library card.
