I never say that, because it was the economic "system" we used for hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution.

Do you have to say it when 1.7B self identify as "communist" yet you question their card carrying membership?

That's a big statement, saying 1.7B all call themselves that.

Fair enough. I won't hold the sincerity of such hypothetical poll to those living under communist rule against them. Which begs the question, why can't they answer sincerely under such a system? (rhetorical of course).

those living under communist rule

They're not living under communism, politically (because it's an economic form) or economically, because they do not own the companies they labor in and share the profits.

I have the same empathy for them as I have for Nazi soldiers in WWII. That is, not much.

They are not complaining that they are sent to murder people who did nothing to them or to their country. They are complaining that they are not given enough equipment to do the murdering more efficiently and without danger to themselves.

The sooner they are killed off, the better.

Wassup with their noses.

Kremlin Exempts Duma Deputies Visiting War Zone From Filing Tax Returns

Duma deputy Viktor Vodolatsky told Vedomosti that his official trips to the occupied Luhansk region had left him with no time to file his annual income declaration.


“Considering [that] you have to collect documents for the returns, I can’t physically do it,” Vodolatsky said.

Another unnamed Duma lawmaker told Vedomosti that nothing had changed with his finances since 2021 but that he just didn't "have time to fill it out" as he was "busy with other things."
