Ah yes, the USSR, a state which considered homosexuality to be a mental disorder and a sign of fascism, and then subsequently criminalized it, arrested queer people, and sentenced them to years in labour camps.
People oppose communism because we don’t trust authoritarians to make good decisions, and when they inevitably make bad decisions, the effects are disastrous and widespread due to how centralized the system is.
How was the housing? Did some people get a nicer house than others? How was that decided? If you had another kid and needed more space what would happen? I generally have no idea. I saw pics of some crappy apartments but I would love to know what it was really like for most people
How was decided? By number of children. 1 kid - 2br apartment, 2 kids - 3 bedroom apartment.
There was also wait list.
No - I wouldn’t say housing was different based on income - actually 100% sure it wasnt.
I find that USSR housing much better than 2x4 framed house I live in now in US. Cmon- cant beat 3m ceilings - in US its reservd for the rich.
One thing they really fucked up planning is parking - noone knew everyone would drive a car in 30 years
So why are u guys so against communism?
This problem was solved in ussr.

It’s unrelated to Ussr.
Many countries criminalized it and still do including US until very very recent times.
Nothing to do with communism vs capitalism.
A nation that, for most of its existence, did not successfully produce toilet paper.
I always had toilet paper growing up in ussr.
Not sure where u got that from.
But what it did have - you could walk everywhere - any lake, any shore any seafront is public. Medical system for everyone. Housing for everyone.
Yes - light industry had issues.

Is there some correlation between communism and toilet paper?
It’s like food in Soviet Russia
Not everybody gets it
If you can’t eat, you can’t get the shits…silver linings.
Yeah dead people don’t shit
Communism is just a different sort of fucked up. It’s just as bad for people in its own way.
Lol no
