Can you elaborate on differences&#x2F;similarities between that system being a &quot;corrupt, inefficient pile of BS&quot; driven by propaganda, vs the socialistic &quot;government should take care of everyone, by redistributing wealth&quot; prominently posted in HN discussions (a la &quot;guaranteed basic income&quot;, &quot;reduced work weeks&quot;, &quot;free healthcare&#x2F;education&#x2F;etc&quot;, &quot;everyone has a right to _____ which others earned&quot;, etc - all requiring a dominating government taking what isn&#x27;t theirs to take, all sounding wonderful but crushingly impossible in implementation a la USSR)?<p>(Obviously I&#x27;m biased, but I am trying to make an earnest question. Russian communism sounded great too, even as you note: your parents still fall for the propaganda. Wish I could ask in a more neutral tone, but it&#x27;s an inherently divisive subject.)
