This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She's changing the system from the inside! It's working this time!

Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There's no we! There's no mass movement behind you! It's just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)

yeah i can see why facts are hard for you to grasp. but you know, I definitely trust the numbers from the USSR and China

Ah yes, 'those spooky Asiatics always lie, and we can't ever know how things actually worked there'.
That is obviously silly. Firstly, you are forgetting that research has also been done by people from elsewhere (including by white westerners, whom you apparently consider to be genetically honest and superior to Slavs and Chinese people), and, secondly, you are forgetting that people who lived and worked in the USSR and other relevant places are alive. I have very easy access to such people (and I know for certain that they are such people) and I have used that access to study this very topic.

Also, let's turn this around. USians always lie. We can never trust what comes out of that cursed land. That Wikipedia page you linked? That's a complete fabrication. There has also never been this 'AOC' person, ever.

You are obviously being incredibly silly.

they havent been caught lying about their metrics at all

Again, relevant stuff was also studied by white westerners whom you consider to never ever lie, unlike your dastardly designated enemies, whose every good thing is apparently a fabrication and is never true.
I can even tell you that this stuff has been studied by vocal anti-communists.

oh and huh I guess they havent quite nixed it in the bud yet either

Literally a 99.8% literacy rate overall. 100% among the youth. Started with 80% of the population being illiterate in 1940s.
Currently, the PRC is leading in many technologies, academic disciplines, and industries.

So, yeah, they have been very successful in this regard, apparently.

not to mention when liberal historians looked into the USSR's archives they quietly failed to make any noise about how their vicious Cold War fantasies were disproven. meanwhile what does the US's continuous history of overt and covert intervention say about their lies of "freedom" and "democracy"?
