Capitalism and extreme poverty

[Captain Caveman]

Ahhhh, you're a russki. Funnily enough, the living conditions in the former USSR got exponentially better when they abandoned socialism.

Huh, funny how that works.

I had the privilege of visiting the former Soviet Union, and later the Russian Federation. It was night and day different.

Thanks for proving our point.

The Soviet Union collapsed because -



And many Western countries are now going through the same shit.

Russia's gdp per capita collapsed when they abandoned socialism. It went from 8,000 to 4,000 in 8 years.
It took them 9 years to recover their gdp. Since then it has gone up to 10,200. An improvement of 25% ... that doesn't qualify as an exponential improvement.

Oh? Prior to the collapse the number of people who had cars was vanishingly small. Now, almost everyone has one. Just by that metric alone your claim if proven false.

Bangladesh is ok, I've been there. Their spiced food is amazing, totally different to what they serve in UK restaurants.

Is that why millions flock to immigrate to America every year?

Funny how not one person in America who believes in socialism has ever relocated to a socialist nation.

Lee Harvey Oswald did.

Lee Harvey Oswald did.

He came back to America.

They flock because they're from shit hole countries, and their culture drags down host countries.

Well, Mexican migration to the US has all but halted, while the number of US citizens migrating to Mexico has been steadily increasing.
So... I guess that's a good sign.

Oh, the article says migrants, not "Mexican migrants"... there are a bunch of countries south of Mexico that are still sending migrants to the U.S. But... they are not-mexican.

Here you go mate, the number of Mexicans has been steadily dropping since 2010.

There is an old anecdote:

A good man died and went to heaven. He lives and does not grieve.
Suddenly the devils in a chariot rush through paradise and say:
- Come with us, we have booze, girls, all sorts of charms, all temptations to choose from, whatever you want! Let's go!!! The man went to God:
- Lord, let me go to Hell on a tour!
- But why would you want to do that? Is there something you're missing?
- No, but just curious to see.
God gave him permission for three days. The man returned, full of impressions.
After a while, the Devils came rushing through Heaven again. He was invited again.
He asked him to come back, and came back satisfied. After a while it was the same again.
After several journeys the man thought for a long time, came to the Lord:
- Lord, let me go to Hell!
- Are you sure about that?
- Yes.
God let him go.
The man got ready, went to Hell, and he went straight to the tar!
- Guys, come on, it's me, you drank with me, we...
- And you, dear, do not confuse tourism with emigration.

Even America lacks the wealth to fulfill 330 million people's wants.

Yet libs want to open the door for millions more poor, uneducated illegal aliens

That makes the left look pretty stupid
