A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

If anecdotal evidence means shit, let me add mine too. I grew up (yes, me, not my parents, or grandparents) in a communist state in India, and it was great lol. Does that now mean that I get to deny all the legitimate criticisms of the system or that particular government? No. That's not how it works you dumbasses. People give too much credence to anecdotal experience, even though it's the most unreliable of all.
Absolutely. There are real problems with socialist societies of all kinds, but on the whole they are positive. You can find positive anecdotes in the worst societies and negative in the best, what's important is doing the due dilligence to study what went right and what went wrong truthfully. Thanks for your anecdote!
