I also love how these imbeciles always bring up the fact that USSR dissolved as some kind of gotcha, like see communism doesn’t work I’m so intelligent. As if no capitalist regime has ever collapsed due to its internal contradictions. The reality is that every type of system has potential to fail in some way. The question that actually needs to be asked is how well the system functions while it’s working as intended.
USSR managed to provide everyone with things like food, housing, education, and healthcare. Nobody in USSR worried that they’d lose their job and end up on the street or that they couldn’t retire in dignity. These are basic things that no capitalist regime is able to accomplish today. These are real tangible rights and freedoms that USSR ensured for its people.
US managed to build up a lot of mythology around their military capabilities over the years, and actually putting that to a test was a huge blunder. Before the war started, most of the world was convinced that NATO military was superior to Russia in practically all the respects. They were supposed to have better training, better tactics, better tech, etc. Nobody seriously questioned that.
Then things got put to the test and turns out that Russian army is far more effective on the battlefield. All the NATO weapons proved to be ineffective, their tactics don’t work, and they’re not able to adapt the way Russia is. Drones are a perfect example of that. Russia started out lacking in this department, and now it managed to develop and put cheap and effective drones into production at scale.
This war exposed NATO as the emperor with no clothes.
Israel really blew the lid off western propaganda narrative. It’s lack of evidence to support the narrative, but even more so the difference in reaction. The west has been positioning itself as the champion of human rights fighting against injustices done by Russia and China, but now we have Israel do crimes on a huge scale with the full backing of the west. This makes it crystal clear that the west absolutely does not give a shit about human rights, and that it has no moral high ground to criticize anyone.
