And internet. Basic internet connection should be a human right at this point. It's infinite free education at your fingertips.
That's why gen Z is so smart.
It’s infinite free education at your fingertips.
And that is 1 of the top 2 reasons they won't let that happen.
Not under Capitalism, at least, hence the importance of PSL.

Bruh you know me too well
When, I think of "socialism," I think of modern day Scandinavian health care, not Soviet-era Russia. Who do these pants -wetting idiots think they're scaring?

One of the upshots of the Great Patriotic War producing so many invalids and disabled veterans was a Soviet state dedicated to providing top quality public services for its veterans. An entire municipality - Rusinovo - was built to cater to the blind, in order to accommodate the number of Soviets who had lost their sight to chemical weapons and other injuries. It became a model for a host of disability-friendly improvements to cities the world over, and you can still find them if you know where to look. The Tokyo subway adopted the Rusinovo model for raised, guided pathways, for instance. And audible signals at crosswalks and in city metros are common mass transit features globally.
After the fall of the USSR, much of the country was privatized and subsequently looted by the Yeltsin-friendly oligarchs who endorsed the coup against Gorbachev. Rusinovo was one such target for looting. The school for the blind was defunded. Factories specifically geared to allow blind workers to participate in the manufacturing center were shuttered and stripped for parts. The transit network was gutted.

Post-Soviet Eastern Europe is regularly held up as the consequence of Soviet Economics taken to their logical conclusion. So you'll routinely see Western politicians point to states like Estonia or Solvakia or the shattered remnants of the Yugoslavian Republic as proof of the Failed Socialist Experiment.
What you don't typically hear is the rapid deterioration that occurred after the USSR was dismantled and partitioned off under Yeltsin. Or how much of the Soviet Era wealth was stolen by mafiosos and corrupt agents operating on behalf of western business interests and rival espionage agencies nce the Iron Curtain was torn down.
In some sense, its a lie. "Look at how awful it is now! That's because of the socialism they did back then."
In some sense, its a threat. "Try socialism again, and you're next."
Some more about why the Nordic model isn't socialism:
Scandinavian healthcare isn't socialism though, that's part of the problem.
Rec...? Recre...?? Recreation? Is that like fun or something
Probably when you're supposed to be "hustling" or "grinding," or whatever the nomenclature is now for trying to make survival sound cool.
Agree with the philosophy, but stupid that she's running for president. Until/unless we change FPTP voting the only the Democrat and Republican running even matter and if you don't explicitly vote for the one then your are implicitly voting for the other.
I don't begrudge her campaign. Making noise on the national level is a good way to elevate the message and slowly undo the demonization of socialism. It's her supporters acting like Harris is the same as Trump that chap my ass.
tell that to m'uricah, oh wait cant because two party system
