Economy Will you see any benefit from DOGE?

[Koro_11]

or you could read data and not rely on anecdotal evidence like an adult. that said, yes, i've talked to plenty of people who lived under tito in the former yugoslavia as well as children of people who lived under him. their lives were immeasurably better under tito.

i've also talked to plenty of cuban americans whose parents and grandparents lived under both batista and castro and they left cuba because they couldn't have slave plantations anymore lol

In other words you talked to a bunch of nostalgic Serbs who liked it when Tito ran things from Belgrade and funneled money gained from Croatian tourism on the Adriatic and made Serbia wealthier and gave them all the military power to keep nationalism and independence in check. Did you ask any Croats or Slovenes how they liked living under Tito?

Which Cubans did you talk to? Which ever left the States to live back under Castro's regime? How many did that?

Funny enough, I was born in the former Yugoslavia, and my wife was born in Cuba, but of course our opinions don't count right, communism is actually better than capitalism and we're dumb for escaping it right?

You're a completely clueless moron, even the biggest forum leftist aren't dumb enough to attempt the dumb argument you're trying to make and that's saying a lot.

Which countries are actually communist?

North Korea
Cuba
Venezuela

Probably?

I live in a foreign country that is allied with America. My country produces better standards of living than America and despite being slightly less rich per person overall (mean) we absolutely dominate the median wealth.

Most Australians are worth over $250k where as most Americans are worth less than $115k. Average citizen is worth more than twice that of people in the "greatest country on earth"

List of countries by wealth per adult - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Which allows me to invest heavily in Index funds. My largest holding being ASX:VTS a US total Index fund. Chose it because it has the lowest MER.

I don't lose money by Americans continued to focus making sure there is no government to protect them from the wealthy as I mimic the actions of the wealthy by buying their companies and I face little of the repercussions because I am not in America.

So yeah I guess.

Do I think it will do anything to resolve the massive median wealth disparity Americans face when compared to my country and improve the lives of its citizens?

No.

North Korea
Cuba
Venezuela

North Korea is a dictatorship. (
Cuba has an authoritarian government where political opposition isn’t allowed.
Venezuela is a presidential republic.

The guy once tried to make the argument that Genghis Khan and the Mongols only killed other combatants and didn't engage in genocide of civilians. Just zero clue about history or anything, yet it never stopped him from giving his strong opinions as if he's the expert, next level moron and next level dishonest by always doubling down on his dumb narratives no matter how much evidence you present to the contrary.

Oh, ok, so none of them are communist according to you, even if they themselves say they are?

What about the former Soviet Union, were they commies? How was life under Stalin?

What about Cambodia under Pol Pot?

Not "real" communism?

It's never been properly tried? Are you one of those?

How the shit else do you think you'd accomplish/enforce communism without a dictatorship or authoritarian government? If a country is communist, the authoritarian part is implicit because nobody's giving away all of their stuff to the government if they had a choice.

Funny how that always plays out isn't it.

These guys are fucken hilarious, imagine defending communism in 2025.

bro did one google search, found an article from a capitalist eastern euro competitor and thinks it's real.


the croats like tito. tito is also a croat btw. there will be right-wingers in both countries that dislike tito. they aren't representative of everyone. the standard of living in that area of the world has never been better than it was in the 70's under tito. before or since. this backed up by every metric possible as well as public opinion. you don't have an argument here.

Which Cubans did you talk to? Which ever left the States to live back under Castro's regime? How many did that?

what? i've talked to more cuban americans. people whose families left cuba when castro took over because they couldn't have slaves or price gouge real estate.

Funny enough, I was born in the former Yugoslavia, and my wife was born in Cuba, but of course our opinions don't count right, communism is actually better than capitalism and we're dumb for escaping it right?

you're not dumb. you're parasites who want to hoard wealth without working for it. you want to own a startup company or invest in stocks, bonds, and real estate for passive income so you can exploit people you believe to be inferior to you. that doesn't make you stupid. that makes you an awful human being.

You're a completely clueless moron, even the biggest forum leftist aren't dumb enough to attempt the dumb argument you're trying to make and that's saying a lot.

i would love for you to try and even put into words the argument you think i'm making.

Just like a week ago, dude tried to claim the US should learn from China about "workers' rights".

You still need leaders. Those leaders can be voted on. They can have term limits and/or be voted out.

If you are suggesting that we should honor and respect what people see themselves as regardless of what we think they are then buddy, grab your blue hair dye and a set of hand drums because you just became a trans ally. Collective potluck at Juniper and Sage’s home. Please bring a vegan dish and a poem to share. (Orgy to follow, so maybe finger foods. Nothing too heavy).

Stalin was a dictator. So was pol pot.

Nice dicktuck and change of topic, congratulations, now you're reaching KazSoliloquy level of stupidity and dishonesty.

Google search?

Did you just skim over the part where I told you that I'm a Croat who was born in Tito's Yugoslavia, and who's spent 3 years on and off in Castro's Cuba.

YOU.

ARE.

A.

FUCKEN.

MORON.

and if so, you are a parasite. i don't care what you pretend you did or are on the nazi karate forum. i'm also balkan btw, though mainly irish and french, but we're not playing credibility olympics. again, what you feel is not reality. they're just your feelings.

feel free to show me all the metrics on how life got way better in the former yugoslavia after tito died and the USSR collapsed.

I'm actually relieved to hear that, my bad this particular topic especially boils my blood so forgive me if my humour detector is a bit off on this one.
