Literally every fully communist society has been a shit hole throughout history.

You forgot to pull the source from your ass along with that claim. Jesus mate, if you're gonna make bold uninformed statements like that you can just go do it on Reddit where we'd get banned for correcting you. Tell me what a shithole Cuba is when you can't get treatment for diabetes in the USA, or can't pay for university in Europe because you're a foreigner. Or how the USSR was so terrible when they were recognised as such pioneers in film that the USA had to ban their films. Or China eradicating poverty and homelessness. What did those countries not have that your Norseboys have, considering the clear interference of capitalist nations in both of them?

Also what an strange obsession to treat the survival of people as somehow inferior to your entertainment. Are you really willing to trade away the survival of poor people, including all the migrants and asylum seekers not covered in norseland, as well as the wellbeing of the workers to produce things you like both there and abroad, just so you can watch yet another 300k budget Marvel movie? Even if you were correct that communist countries only focus on survival (you're not), how would that be worse than having tens of thousands of homeless people just because the renters don't find it profitable.

Read a book before spouting nonsense and calling countries "shit holes". Have you no consideration for your fellow human?
