Americans, why do you like rabid capitalism that much? I live in a poor shitty country, but:
1) I have 1 month of paid holiday every year.
2) Education is free. We have paid education, but it's mostly for non-STEM professions. I have become an engineer for free despite I am from a poor family. No student loans, no shit.
2) If I get married and I knock up my wife she has a right for a 3 year holiday to raise a child.
3) If employer wants to fire me he has to pay me salary for a 6 months and he can't fire me without a reason.
Etc, etc, etc. And Europeans have way more rights than Russians with all their welfare, 6 hour work day and so. Why do you all like capitalism and neoliberalism? Are you retarded?

This is why Russia will always be second world

You pay for all your 'free stuff' actually. Ever heard of taxes?
>>75329156
Most of taxes in Russia are collected from a small number of corporations like Rosneft and so, also we all pay taxes to maintain various public services from police to firefighters, and education is one of them. Benefits society receives from people educated is huge and it's not less important than police (and considering all this Putin spends only a very small amount of money on education, it's incomparable with our military or secret services spendings).

I hate to use the word because it's so overused, but is Russia's method sustainable? Is Europe's? If you give away more resources than you have available, the free ride will come to an end. People in the US didn't want to trade with countries that use child labor and have poor work conditions, but that cat is already out of the bag and the world is equalizing. Not in a socialist wealth redistribution method, but in a we saved up and now we own what you couldn't afford in the first place method. If you want to be a knuckle dragging simian taking things by force, this is fine but nobody in the civilized world will wish to do business with you.
>>75328895
it is if you never perceive an income in your country thus never pay taxes.

Of course it's sustainable, it was like that even in 90s when we were literally Africa tier. It's not really expensive, you know, and the outcome you get from educated population which has more free time to spend their money thus speeding up economy is great, all these things benefit country eventually. USA just imports people from all over the world, that's why your economy is competitive and so huge, but if you stop receiving immigrants you would have to develop your old population.
