It’s kind of like the shy and awkward kid at school, trying to put himself out there and stand out more. Adorable.

Numerous academics have stated that capitalism killed bare minimum 1.4 Billion people in India alone, over multiple centuries.

I’ve got a feeling that even that amount, is an extremely low bare minimum estimate.

I always say, that even if communism allegedly killed 100 million people, (which it didn’t, and the extreme upper end number is is more like 18 million), that communism is still the much, much more efficient, workable and “moral” system than capitalism is.

When I point out to people that for the most part, the “victims” of communism were selfish, greedy capitalists, kulaks, Uncle Toms, traitors, nazis and right-wing nationalists, who deserved what they got, where as capitalism kills mountains more people, and 99 percent innocent people, they accuse me of being a bootlicker. Which is extremely ironic and anger-inducing. Yet, they don’t deny the objective facts.

It depends on context. And when one of the world’s most powerful countries is sanctioning and tariffing you, that growth still speaks volumes.

In economics terms, 1 percent growth is considered very good. Yes, 0.8 isn’t 1 percent, but it’s pretty close.

I’m sure you didn’t mean it in that way, I didn’t mean to make it sound like you were charitable to the organization as a whole, you’re good.

I think you’re being very charitable about the CIA’s claim. While the USSR was a dictatorship of the proletariat, I’m pretty sure the CIA meant dictatorship in the way most people use the term.

I’ve legit had capitalist bootlickers say that “The CIA didn’t conclude that Stalin wasn’t a dictator, just that he didn’t have absolute power!”

These stupid ass crakkkers completely miss the point, that of course the CIA will still slander Stalin, socialism, and the USSR. They’ll never say that Stalin was a cool, misunderstood heroic guy. The point is that even in internal, secret documents for CIA personnel, the fact remains even they admit that Stalin wasn’t a dictator.

I’m an Amerikkkan and Texan, as well. I don’t have any advice for you. Especially since I live in the capital of shittyness, Texas.

I’ve been trying for almost a decade now, with my family’s help, and I’ve just about given up. These reich-wing Nazi ass judges are scum of the Earth, and they always think I could be lying or faking or exaggerating my goddamn symptoms.

I don’t have much of a job history, so I don’t think I can help you much, other than keep applying. I’m sorry.

I live in Texas, and here, it’s fucking absolute hell trying to get on SSDI. My family and I have been trying for the better part of a decade, and I’m basically almost giving up.
