Seriously. People are like “Communism has never succeeded anywhere” and I’m like motherfucker Cuba is right there and it has a better life expectancy than the USA!!!

“Well then we will say America has been in existence for 150 years and this is the level she has reached. We have existed not quite 42 years and in another seven years we will be on the same level as America. When we catch you up, in passing you by, we will wave to you. Then if you wish we can stop and say: Please follow up. Plainly speaking, if you want capitalism you can live that way. That is your own affair and doesn’t concern us. We can still feel sorry for you but since you don’t understand us – live as you do understand.”

The US is not underdeveloped, it’s overexploited by China :so-true:
Du Bois traced the high rates of poverty, crime and illiteracy prevalent in Philadelphia’s Black community to discrimination, divestment and residential segregation – not to Black people’s degree of ambition or talent
There’s also the fact that people who lack “ambition or talent” (two vaguely defined and subjective things) don’t deserve to suffer as fucking second-class citizens
Capitalism creates a system where a disgusting pedophile can be wealthy and live a life of royalty but a kind and generous person can suffer all their lives if they’re poor.
don’t deserve to suffer as fucking second-class citizens
Calvinism and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Chuds read this and unironically think we should go back to papal indulgences.
this is so fucking false, the U.S. is not a “developing country,” for it to be “developing” it would have to be improving in some capacity
