Socialist Yugoslavia. The difference with current leftover republics is incredible. What used to be a happy and secure place for the people, where they didn't have to worry about their future or current existential problems, now turned into a poor, depressing capitalist hellscape, where most of the people are stressed out, insecure, depressed and angry. It's literally the remnants of socialist Yugoslavia policies, like the free-housing, that keeps the people's head above the water.

As someone who lived in socialism and now have pretty decent living standard in a capitalist country with one of the highest standards of living in the world, I can tell you I enjoyed socialism far more. Even at the worst of times.

There is something special about not seeing a homeless person ever in your life, then visiting supposedly rich capitalist countries and being shocked by all the people suffering in the streets.

I once posted a slightly lib article on how an idiot ancap CEO of Sears ran the company to the ground with dumb libertarian ideas and also some Chomsky's critique of US imperialism. Got perma banned the next day...

I mean, I thought we should be intelligent enough to read lib sources if they offer some kind of valuable insight and just filter out useless lib opinions, bad takes ourselves...I guess I was wrong lol.

Funnily enough, many Swiss believe Parmigiano-Reggiano is a counterfeit of their own, they claim even older, Sbrinz cheese.

Dispose of a troublesome mercenary leader with this one simple trick: 10 million dollars and full amnesty to all Wagner mercenaries that dispose of him.

"Civil war" resolved in 10 minutes, tops.
