>Implying West Berlin wasn't the USA's showpiece that got extra material and political support from the West, making it more desirable to live in than East Berlin
Daily reminder that Yugoslavians didn't defect in mass droves despite being able to freely travel to the West.
>>2770397
because the Yugoslavians wernt under threat of getting sent to a Gulag
>>2770397
Reminder that Yugoslavia was bought and paid for by the Capitalist West and thus there was no reason for them to flee.
>>2770405
wrong
What's the difference between non-aligned and neutral??
>>2770397
because Yugoslavia wasnt an oppresive shitheap wasteland to live in
the system wasnt the problem, it was the people.
>>2770341
never gets old

>Daily reminder that Yugoslavians didn't defect in mass droves
Lol, they literally had a negative population growth because of how many people were fleeing.

That's not a breadline. It's a line for Red Cross assistance after a flood.

The non-aligned movement was is an actual organization which sought to emphases individual state sovereignty over alliances coalescing around superpowers like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

Yep, truly the good guys.

Are you from the East? I am and I disagree. Basically USSR and their conquered territory that did not wish to be a part of its club.
>>2770542
>comparing 2 different nations:
>Russia is fucked by war before it was even born and after that and after Soviet collapse
>The amount of successful invasions on US soil and the damages caused by those invasion is really just a footnote
Hmm who would win in an economic war anon?
>>2770578
You say that like the Soviets didn't have the entire fucking Cold War to catch up.
>>2770584
>Implying American sit on their asses to allow Soviet to catch up.
>>2770578
so im gonna backtrack a little to your post and ask you why try showing an american breadline then?
>little kid throws a rock at you
>knock the little fucker out
>DUDE WTF WHO WOULD WIN A STRENGTH BATTLE

Always some fucking excuse in the name of the "not real socialism" fallacy.

Because in my humble opinion anon is that the first guy from >>2770341 implying that breadline is a communism thing, then I try to post (and fail) a picture of a breadline in US (which there is, just not in the picture that I posted)
>little kid try to grow up to be a good person
>mentally torture him

>dude that's why his way of living is wrong and the person who taught him how to be good is trash

Counterpoint - West Germany. You're a faggot.
>>2770654
so youre telling me communism is bad?
>>2767015
>There are people who actually think this
>>2770672
Counterpoint - South Vietnam. We're all the same N'wah
>>2770654
>implying that breadline is a communism thing
it is a communist thing, it has a communist connotation attached to it because of the economic hardships the USSR faced
