      Lots of Authoritarian one party economies are, Hitler’s, China’s, Ghengis Khan’s, Ancient Rome.

      You can really make leaps and bounds with forced labour and a Stalinist regime… But I don’t want to live under such a system, nor would I automatically trust how it’s applied.

      Here’s some photos of some gulag laborers digging the White Sea to Baltic canal for some extra bread and meat rations: https://allthatsinteresting.com/white-sea-baltic-canal

      Insanely “good” economies are often created from poverty, serfdom, slavery, and forced labour. That’s not how I’d define a “good” economy though.

        Just to note; Capitalism also has this problem of paying workers the minimum in order to transfer wealth to profit/owners.

        Weird how the socialist command economies lead to a massive increase in literacy, life expectancy, women’s rights, access to education, doctors per person, decreased infant and maternal mortality, I could go on.

        Almost like there is a difference between a capitalist command economy like the nazis did and a socialist command economy. Wonder what the difference between those three word phrases is, hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

          Political prisoners are a thing.

          Gulags were a thing, labor camps have been a thing, vocational education and training centers, have been a thing, north koreas camps have been a thing, siberian labor camps have been a thing, pol pots torture camps have been a thing.

          Authoritarian one party systems tend to have political prisoners, and institutions, camps, or prisons where they’re dealt with.

          These are things the proletariat and lumpenproletariat (and other classes) get subjected too for political reasons, I’m saying I don’t want that happening. That it’s a bad thing.

            You aren’t saying anything except bringing up scary terms you heard. Conspiracies are a thing. War profiteers are a thing. El Chupacabra is a thing.

            You’re just talking shit without any specific accusations. Just vibes.

              You’re free to look up these various systems of political punishment. Just answering 'theyre conspiracy theories ’ isn’t a convincing argument.

              You have to win people to your cause if you want your systems to win.

                I didn’t say they were conspiracies. I said conspiracies were a thing. Just like you didn’t say shit about all the scary terms you threw around. I’m supposed to look up ‘political prisoners’ and then divine what your point is? You’re fucking dumb.
