Has communism actually worked?

Has communism actually worked?

No, go to Cuba and North Korea if you like communism.

How can communism work if it cannot be achieved?

as in being a sustainable form of government that allows for long-term development? no, not really

>communism
>long term government
pick one and only one

of course

>get independance and freedom of movement
>everybody GTFO

also, what happened in 2009?

Define worked

Anyone implementing that utopia has become a shithole.

have you heard about 2008 financial crisis?

>communism
Socialism? Yes but it worked like a Fred Flinstone car without Fred.

Birthrates don't depend on economy like more money means more kids, you know.

Thus far? It's been shit. In the future though one humanity is ruled by AI and everything is automated communism would be great.

> In the future though one humanity is ruled by AI and everything is automated communism would be great.
You sound like a propagandist from 60s.

no, the thing in your statistics is, that your people were "allowed" to flee when you finally got independent.

it's a chain reaction similar to this:
>no money and living standard for highly educated personal, they want compensation for skilled work
>they look where they can earn more
>they move to other countries
>no specialized personel in own country anymore
>industry collapses
>no education in personel anymore
>no jobs anymore
>hopelessness
>more people move away

It's a rought way to get up again, even centuries later. It's the same here. In the past my city had 900000 citizens, today, even after growing it has just 500000 again.

Yugoslav communism work(ed). That all went to hell when (((USA))) funded all the (((nationalist))) parties in the various republics and insisted on (((democratic elections))) which put them in power which they used to dismantle any traces of the system EXCEPT they switched one party loyalty to another and instead of spending most of government resources on all the people they now spend it on only a select circle of people leaving the rest to go fuck themselves and survive however they can.

>when you have to build a wall to keep people in

No. Nor has capitalism™.

Based capitalism, liberalism, and democracy

>when the COLLAPSE hits you

Birthrates actually go don here.

yeah, it happened in 2008

so why the delay until 2009?

because you will move away after you lost your job and not when you see a crisis coming. You company will maybe struggle for half a year till they go bankrupt and can't pay you anymore.

I read somewhere the Soviets freed people who were basically slaves. Is this true?

Sounds reasonable
Kind of similar to depopulation of villages

Yes

And then reenslaved them.

Everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world, all the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated their kids, gave them healthcare, totally transformed the society.

Well, I am not an expert, but they say situation among peasantry was quite bad in independent Baltics
As for Russian Empire’s former parts - no; they did give peasants all the gentry’s Land for a time

Bleha pezi konkrečiai

No.

Is Cuba best Caribbean?

>they say situation among peasantry was quite bad in independent Baltics
HAHAHAHAHAHA holy shit, they were termed kulaks for having too much land and too much wealth, machinery imported from the UK, Germany etc.

We must promote Christianity to increase our fertility ra-

Yeah, and they exploited poor peasantry without remorse. Old good cycle of grain credit - bad season - insolvency.
Well, I am parroting commie propaganda here. Not an expert, and you probably know way better

These Lithuanians are moving to capitalist countries, not communist.

>exploited poor peasantry without remorse
Sure, the whole 200 commie party members who suddenly "got elected".
>Well, I am parroting commie propaganda here
You really are.

Well, your graph doesn't disapprove the fct that we used to have incredibly high birthrates because of some Christian core.

Isn't that just because ethnic Russians are leaving Lithuania and going back to Russia? Or am I being an Ameritard?

Russians were minority, and after part left, rest stayed. So the chart primarily depicts lithuanians

No if you don't count GULAG slave labour and no passports allowed for peasants for some time and people couldn't chnge their job occupation during a good part of Sralin times.

Not at all, you would be right talking about Latvia and Estonia which both got rid of about half a million Russians by 1994. Lithuania didn't have many to begin with, the thing is local birth rates peaked with the re-independence movement.

Most of that populatiob growth was from immigrants from other Soviet states and other commmunist countries.
