177. Is that a statue of Adam Smith??? That would make the caption make sense.
Typed while sitting in front of a computer purchased by capitalism, in a reasonably comfortable and well lit dwelling purchased and maintained by capitalism, the freedom to bitch about your government and it's financial underpinnings while begging for the chains that inevitably come with collectivism.
The purest and truest form of DUmbass if there ever were one.
The only ideology Lenin had was to keep Lenin in power. He was a better Hitler than Hitler. The same goes for Stalin. Perhaps double.
Which pretty much renders the rest of your post moot, does it not?
The little girl in the picture is angry because we killed equality in her country.
Equality? What
equality? The equality of misery? Yeah, everyone was
equal in the old Soviet Union - some were just more equal than others. Don't believe me? Feel free to look up how the Russians treated everyone that wasn't white and spoke Russian; start with the indigenous tribes of Siberia and work your way through the Polish to the Cubans.
"Equal" my ass.
We killed a free education regardless of your social standing.
As long as you were a member of "the party", comrade. Otherwise, it was back to your plow or whatever else the state decided you should do. And if you should complain, well, they had some special places to send you (all expenses paid) to get your mind right.
We killed advances in technology made by the USSR that took us over a decade to catch up to (Radial Keratotomy becomes laser eye surgery).
Are you friggin' kidding me? Advances in technology? Like what? RBMK reactors?
One commie gets something right and you celebrate? Gee, I wonder if there were people outside of the great and "equal" white Russians in "the party" that could have benefited from that procedure had it not been deemed by the benevolent commies that it needed to be locked away in the Soviet Union for 18 friggin' years.
Some being more equal than others.....
You want to impress me? Show me a vodka snorting atheist hyena that did something on the level of Robert Jarvik.
The commies were consistently good at one thing - rocketry. That was pretty much it.
We killed her hope of growing up in a nation that did not judge by the color of your skin.
So long as you were white and Russian and belonged to "the party".
In short, she's pissed off about living in a Capitalist Society.
Oh, I doubt that. But if she is, at least she will be free to prosper from the fruits of her labor, no matter what it might be.
