"J-Just go to any communist country and ask them how much they like communism! P-Pinko!"

...

Can you really call them "communist" when they were just highly militarized dictatorships with centrally planned economies and heavy censorship?

Well, the narcissistic cult personalities thought they would bring about communism, like how neocons believe that their authority will bring liberty.

More a sign of how shit fascism is

Doesn't 89% of Serbia say they were better off under Tito?

...

I dunno, every time I hear balkcunts bring it up, I hear Serbs go "TITO WANTED TO KILL OUR RACE FOR THE CROATS" then the Croats say something along the same lines.

Really makes you think

Pah! All this free housing, clothing, and food STINKS! Where's the struggle?! Gimme back the bosses!

i thought the saarland was very conservative

Communism creates dumb, dependent people. It's like an eternal kindergarten really.

You know East Germany didn't realy benefit after the fall of the wall, right?

Oh!
You mean like Capitalism has?

Haha you dumb commie loser when will you admit WE WON! Hahahha! Sad!

No, it's the exact opposite you always complain about, how you have to make a living for yourself instead of being taken by the hand from birth.

...

all dumb people will be forcefully removed from the gene pool by our silicon valley overloads by the second half of the century, don't sweat it.

no, want.

they didn't get welcomed back they got fucking annexed

Nice ideology you got there. Read a book.

fyi most people from the former USSR who say they're nostalgic for socialism just want the return of the USSR's welfare state.

Occasionally you get Russian ultranationalists who also want all the power of the USSR back as well as the welfare state.

And what's wrong with that? As a lifelong burger, I never got the Protestant work ethic. I never got why welfare is supposed to be evil. It just means "general well-being". Maybe it makes people dependent on the state, sure, but capitalism does that with megacorporations like Walmart anyways. People do stuff on their own naturally - it's when you force them to accept stuff that weird things happen. I see nothing inherently wrong with a welfare state other than that it's a state. I'd say that a guaranteed social welfare program, so that you don't have to constantly stress out about the future of your housing, your medical care, your daily food, is one of the few appeals of state "socialism", even if every other form of socialism offers it as well. State capitalism's nicer than capitalism, but that doesn't make it socialism.

this is somewhat disingenuous, as die Linke is a regionalist party to a certain extent.
