Stain is bad and there are much better examples of Actual Communism (before they got coup'd) like Cuba, Rojava, and Burkina Faso

Although Stalin himself died millions of times in the war against the Nazis, he also threw concentration camp survivors in gulags for being potential spies.

The Bolsheviks were all garbage. Lenin, garbage, Trotsky, garbage. Stalin, ubergarbage. They stole power in a shiny new workers democracy and turned it into a gigantic nightmare machine. But they had red flags and talked louder than everyone else so I guess they get to be the default communism

Say you, instead of the Bolsheviks, are in control of a shiny new workers democracy in 1917 russia? I'm interested to know how you'd survive foreign invasion, civil war, mass starvation. I mean, you seem to prefer that sort of government, and it would have the same problems emerging today, so how do you solve them differently? I'm not shitposting, I genuinely want to know.

I probably wouldn't have crushed the Soviets and persecuted the politically active workers after the civil war had ended. The Bolsheviks were putting people in camps in 1921 who they relied on to break the provisional government in 1917. The Bolsheviks were counter-revolutionaries who crushed the Russian workers revolution. ContinuityNewTimes has issued a correction as of 20:53 on Sep 18, 2018 |

What you are doing right now is the direct equivalent of a foreign poster trying to contribute to a debate among US goons by suggesting that slavery wasn't bad because actually most slave owners treated their slaves well. steinrokkan has issued a correction as of 21:38 on Sep 18, 2018 |

qkkl posted:The purpose of allowing companies to make a profit would be to give an incentive for future companies to develop new drugs. Even if the R&D is funded by the government it would still be good to give those researchers who receive the government funds an incentive to work hard. A researcher would work harder on developing the cure for cancer if they knew that they would be a billionaire if they succeeded, as opposed to just receiving their government funded salary. Really, every research technician at a pharma company becomes a billionaire if a cure for a big disease is found? You sure about that buddy? Sure it isn't just the CEO and a handful of upper execs? Because that would be news to me. This whole time I've been in genetics I've worked out of pure fear of dying in the streets if I couldn't pay rent, like most Americans under 40.

I don’t know what this post is trying to say but I work in research and thinking that the lowly technician gets rich from being essential to the development of some drug or whatever is extremely funny, to me

This poo poo has almost completely taken over cough/flu medicine aisles in drug stores here, especially the children's medication section. They try as hard as they can to make it look like actual medicine, and the drug stores make absolutely no distinction.

It’s not any worse than phenylephrine.  You want the pseudoephedrine from behind the counter, the stuff that you have to sign for. It’s such a pain to get ahold of these days that you may be off purchasing methamphetamine and synthesising pseudoephedrine from that.

They try as hard as they can to make it look like actual medicine, and the drug stores make absolutely no distinction. I imagine profit margins on sugar pills with a one in a million chance of having a single atom of the "active ingredient" in each box are through the roof. And just because research suggests they don't work doesn't mean they can't.
