    You keep trying to use ad hominem here instead of addressing my points. A pretty lazy troll tactic really.

    Dude. Get a grip on yourself…

    we see the world that “leftists” like you built.

    Lots of fascists and their enablers, such as yourself,

    You’re an incredibly dishonest individual.

    you bloody ignoramus.

    Wonder why you enjoy your current lifestyle built on the backs of the exploited.

    Meanwhile, we’re not even talking about all the horrors of imperialism and literal slavery in the colonized countries that directly subsidize your lifestyle.

    you brutally exploit the poor so that people like you can have a good lifestyle.

    Meanwhile in the real world, here are the salve camps supporting you

    That’s not even all, i’d have to copy half of your ‘arguments’ to cover all ‘ad personam’ arguments/attacks. And you attempt to label me as the one using lazy troll tactics?
    You claim to base your literacy of statistics. I know there hardly are any that would substantiate your claims, so I call bullshit and ask you to provide any. You lunch of on a full on bullshit spin in any possible direction other than facts.

    Seriously, if you ever actually happen to come to Eastern Europe better watch out in conversations with people, as you will simply get literally beaten up for such behaviour. Especially while claiming to have knowledge of peoples experience where you have none outside of marxist propaganda.

    Under state communism everyone had things like housing, jobs, education, healthcare, and food which capitalism is not able to provide

    Yeaaaah. I wonder how come the most often brought up memory is standing in queue hoping to get some meat, or rushing to a shop where according to gossips there’s toilet paper. That’s for when food was rationed anyway, and you couldn’t buy it even if you had the money for it (since that’s the type of communism you’re defending), so people got about half of their diets from the black market since there was no other way.

    The rest of course looks good on paper, and was provided in theory. For example my family managed to get a nice flat in a new model socialist neighbourhood in Warsaw, and it was a massive privilege. It did have a nice room for a servant, btw, as it was meant to go to a party member, and by pure chance ended up with normal workers. But nowadays we don’t live in USA, we don’t live in a socialist state and it’s still pretty much the same quality of services now as it was; you wait ~20-30 years for a communal flat, half a year to few years for necessary medical procedures, get lousy education (apart for corporal punishment that was actually better then, especially for higher education, but oddly far more elitist by design, just check the higher education output nowadays. Oh, and yeah, still free including universities). The capitalist state here provides most of this at a similar (similarly miserable) level. This is why I’m telling you that you have little idea of how the stuff works here. And that’s not limited to Poland. There absolutely are whole areas where things got worse, but you wouldn’t have an idea, and I wont bother to point you.

    Meanwhile, you keep flipping between telling me how much better life got in Poland under capitalism

    Yeah, literally said we can now buy bread and toilet paper, but it’s conditions are still unacceptable. Go check it.

    and how terrible your material conditions are. No consistency whatsoever here.

    I live in self imposed poverty for ethical reasons. Could be working for an IT corpo; I run the Lemmy instance I’m writing from. Instead I choose to work for the unions, which means I’m burned for most employers in Poland. Never once complained about my conditions, I just described them, so you understand where I’m coming from. Which proved futile, since you’re not interested in reaching the truth, only winning a random internet discussion for some marxist/trot brownie points I guess.

    You keep talking as if you represent everyone who lived under both systems. So why don’t you provide some stats to support your assertions.

    Check any election results from the region and tell me how the communists are scoring please. Supposedly you know all the stats already anyway. Feel free to add anything left of social democrats actually, since communist parties are illegal in Poland (and never had more the few hundred members since 90’s anyway). If by chance you actually do, and notice polish SLD “left alliance” of ex-communist party members - it might be worthy of noting their active party members being more economically liberal and culturally conservative than the neo-lib/neo-con PO ex-ruling party. There’s some good academic research for that, but wont even bother to look it up for you, you’re literate yourself in the end. Anyway’s SLD heavily penalised all drugs and filled the prisons with users, stiffend the abortion laws and gave massive rights to the church, so they’re literally above the law since SLD’s last rule, and got a basis for a massive land grab.

    The fascists roam freely and run Poland because of shmucks like you.

    I’d be offended if it wasn’t coming from a nobody.

    Keep marching while they still let you.

    Yeah, not like they have a choice. You claimed they roam the streets? Well, we throw a streetparty on their biggest day and amassment of fascist from all over Europe (11th of November, “march of independence”) and bring it up to some 200 meters from them. Police barricades block the way further, they ddnt even attempt an attack since some 9 years. That’s while holding 20:1 ratio, as they have government support and funding, and what we have for support in the west is mostly useless little shits like you.
    On the other hand they did recently attempt to attack a 100k strong women’s march, only to get a dozen or more of themselves hospitalized. Here you go with one from that. Also here [1,2] you can have a ~150 football hools/nazis attacking my house some years ago. I’m clearly visible in all three, actually.
    So how much you actually know about what’s going on in CEE? And for any comparison - what you been up to lately? Dressed up in a red bandana and got pushed around by the wind while attempting to fly a flag? Or haven’t even left your home? Meet any workers maybe, other than serving your useless fat ass?

    For such cases, in polish we say “chujem jesteś, w dupie byłeś, gówno widziałeś” and I think it’s beautiful. EOT.

      Dude. Get a grip on yourself…

      Maybe follow your own advice dude.

      That’s not even all, i’d have to copy half of your ‘arguments’ to cover all ‘ad personam’ arguments/attacks. And you attempt to label me as the one using lazy troll tactics?

      That’s just me stating my opinion of people like you. Nowhere do I try to discredit what you say based on what I think of you.

      You claim to base your literacy of statistics. I know there hardly are any that would substantiate your claims, so I call bullshit and ask you to provide any. You lunch of on a full on bullshit spin in any possible direction other than facts.

      Here you go troll

      Yeaaaah. I wonder how come the most often brought up memory is standing in queue hoping to get some meat, or rushing to a shop where according to gossips there’s toilet paper.

      Yeaaaah. I wonder how come people now live under bridges and eat out of dumpsters. I guess that’s what you call progress.

      Yeah, literally said we can now buy bread and toilet paper, but it’s conditions are still unacceptable. Go check it.

      You literally said that capitalism is an improvement, and you never once acknowledged all the people who were left behind.

      Which proved futile, since you’re not interested in reaching the truth, only winning a random internet discussion for some marxist/trot brownie points I guess.

      The truth of the discussion is that transition to capitalism created massive inequality, pushed masses of people into destitute conditions, and is now fuelling the rise of fascism.

      Check any election results from the region and tell me how the communists are scoring please.

      Yeah weird how after communists have been suppressed and prosecuted across eastern Europe with parties being banned, organizing being prohibited, there aren’t many communists left.

      I’d be offended if it wasn’t coming from a nobody.

      Nobody cares if you’re offended. Just pointing out a simple fact that anti communists like you are facilitating literal fascists who will eventually get around to people like you too.

      That’s while holding 20:1 ratio, as they have government support and funding, and what we have for support in the west is mostly useless little shits like you.

      The fascists are in your government, control your means of production, own your police, and your military. But you keep on marching and thinking that’s gonna make a difference.

      So how much you actually know about what’s going on in CEE? And for any comparison - what you been up to lately? Dressed up in a red bandana and got pushed around by the wind while attempting to fly a flag? Or haven’t even left your home? Meet any workers maybe, other than serving your useless fat ass?

      Sounds to me like you painting a self portrait there.

        1986
        1986
        1999 but that’s about the development of Soviet Union
        2003, wow.

        Only the last one ends with this little gem of an argument in your (dis)favour;

        By the 1970s, the ratio of good decisions to bad was falling. Perhaps the greatest virtue of the market system is that no single individual is in charge of the economy, so no one has to contrive solutions to the challenges that continually arise. The early strength of the Soviet system became its great weakness as the economy stopped growing because of the failure of imagination at the top.

        And of course does not compare the quality of life before and after collapse of state capitalism (or communism as you want to call it).

        So, which one of these proves how life conditions dropped since the collapse of USSR and where? You might not have reached that level of education yet, but generally it’s in good fashion to reference particular pages. Seems very much like a hasty google search by basic keywords. You’re a bad joke, and so are your ‘arguments’.

          All you’ve done here is pump your chest about how you’re a great champion of the people and how you live in squalor, and how people who disagree with you are fat losers who never go outside. You never provided a single reference to support any of your drivel, you just keep going on and on like a broken record.

          You call me a bad joke, but look at yourself there little peacock. What have you and your ilk accomplished? Your country is run by fascists, your basic rights are being chipped away year by year. You live under the dictatorship of the capitalists, and you have no solutions. Now that’s what I call a joke.

            Check my first comment please? I’m a simple worker not an academic, gave you an example from peoples direct experience, but you could find the stats for it if you cared (kinda claimed to base your opinions on them - remember?).

            And yeah, your placing your baseless arguments against my experience, so what else do you expect. I deal with few dozen refugee workers every week, on behalf of a massive trade union deal with capitalists exploiting them and have a pretty good idea of average working conditions. You claim to know better, but have nothing to prove it. Literally the only thing you proved is that your claims are baseless.

            Also, where do you live? I’ve heard a ton about my use of slave labour and how my country is run by fascists and so on. You never gave anything to confirm your claimed heritage, but surely you’re living in a proletarian utopia by now since it’s such an argument?

            It’s funny how the communist can’t do anything because of fascists, and that’s fascists fault, but it’s personally mine the fash are in charge? Not exactly like I was running a regime here for some 50 years laying groundwork for the fascist takeover you whine about. I just deal with the effects.

            I’m literally only responding for the fun of publicly beating a dead tankie horse till it disintegrates under the weight it’s own lies. Oh, and if you wonder - it aint even me downvoting your replies, you’re making an idiot out of yourself publicly.

              Perhaps you should educate yourself on the problems with using anecdotal evidence. The stats you’ll find will support what I’ve repeatedly said here. Transition to capitalism created mass inequality, homelessness, and many other problems that simply didn’t exist under communism.

              I deal with few dozen refugee workers every week, on behalf of a massive trade union deal with capitalists exploiting them and have a pretty good idea of average working conditions.

              Ah yes, the refugee workers from the countries Europe helped destroy in NATO rampages for the past forty years.

              Also, where do you live? I’ve heard a ton about my use of slave labour and how my country is run by fascists and so on. You never gave anything to confirm your claimed heritage, but surely you’re living in a proletarian utopia by now since it’s such an argument?

              I live in a capitalist hellhole as well, the difference is that I don’t claim that it’s the preferred alternative.

              It’s funny how the communist can’t do anything because of fascists, and that’s fascists fault, but it’s personally mine the fash are in charge?

              Last I checked communists were the only ones who actually dealt with fascists. Once the communists got ousted the fascists took charge all over eastern Europe. Claiming that it’s actually the communists who lay the groundwork for that shit is some galaxy brain logic.

              I’m literally only responding for the fun of publicly beating a dead tankie horse till it disintegrates under the weight it’s own lies.

              I’m literally only responding because this is the most hilarious clown shit I’ve seen in a while. You should do a standup routine. Everything I’ve said here is backed up by facts and references I provided. The only idiot here is the one you see in the mirror every morning.

                Transition to capitalism created mass inequality, homelessness, and many other problems that simply didn’t exist under communism.

                Oh yes they did exist, only were masked with fake statistics and mass incarceration. Thats what you’re not getting.

                Ah yes, the refugee workers from the countries Europe helped destroy in NATO rampages for the past forty years.

                Nah, that’s from the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, and take over of Belarus. It’s Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians, in this order, all escaping the same regime, to a capitalist crypto-fascist NATO country, in their millions. Funny, aint it?

                I live in a capitalist hellhole as well,

                Oh, so how guilty are you of it’s state?

                the difference is that I don’t claim that it’s the preferred alternative.

                Neither do I, just read what I wrote from first comment on.

                Claiming that it’s actually the communists who lay the groundwork for that shit is some galaxy brain logic.

                Any socialist opposition inside or to the party was successfully eradicated, the workers were killed by the Peoples Army, the only thing that remained were communist-nationalist associations (like “Grunwald”), the nationalist underground, and deep hatred for the oppressive regimes and the church which rejected any progressive idea after it’s people were murdered by the regime (Popiełuszko). Go figure.

                You should do a standup routine. Everything I’ve said here is backed up by facts and references I provided.

                Which were these? 1917 production stats? That proved your point of workers being worse off nowadays, or am I missing something?

                  I’ll let you figure out how google works all on your own.

                  Oh yes they did exist, only were masked with fake statistics and mass incarceration. Thats what you’re not getting.

                  Sure yeah, everything in USSR was fake. Funny thing is that incarceration under capitalism goes up because crime goes up. Once again a well documented fact. US today has higher incarceration rate than USSR had under Stalin. But you do you there.

                  Nah, that’s from the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, and take over of Belarus. It’s Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians, in this order, all escaping the same regime, to a capitalist crypto-fascist NATO country, in their millions. Funny, aint it?

                  Sorry, I forgot that the only refugees you’d interact with would have blond hair and blue eyes. The others just get drowned in the sea.

                  Oh, so how guilty are you of it’s state?

                  I’m not, I didn’t build this state and I don’t condone it in any way.

                  Neither do I, just read what I wrote from first comment on.

                  From first comment on you’ve consistently said that capitalism is an improvement while still being unacceptable. You never exactly explain what exactly your master plan is for transitioning to something better, or what that would look like.

                  Any socialist opposition inside or to the party was successfully eradicated, the workers were killed by the Peoples Army, the only thing that remained were communist-nationalist associations (like “Grunwald”), the nationalist underground, and deep hatred for the oppressive regimes and the church which rejected any progressive idea after it’s people were murdered by the regime (Popiełuszko). Go figure.

                  Yup, that’s obviously the reason to become fascists.

                  Which were these? 1917 production stats? That proved your point of workers being worse off nowadays, or am I missing something?

                  I guess we’ve already established that reading comprehension wasn’t your strong point. Not what the studies actually say I’m afraid.

                    No, the other ones are weaponised by belarusian puppets of Kremlin and forced to cross a deadly border through estern forests and swamps, and since supporting them is legally “trafficing” I wont be discussing that, you misserable no life piece of shit. Come here and do 20km of forests and swamps threthened by millitary and police with a possible 10 years in prison for trying to save lives your Kremlin apologist fuck or shut the fuck up. This time im seriously over with your bullshit.
