I recommend reading any version of the constitution of the USSR. There's all kinds of enumerated positive rights. The government had legal obligations to safeguard your welfare, as opposed to the US government which is often legally prohibited from acting against the rich.

Socialist constitutions are always a great read, but of course liberals will say "well ackshually it's all a ploy and they don't follow it smuglord"

I think it'll blow Americans minds to learn that the USSR went through multiple constitutions throughout its existence. Not half-assed amendments, entirely new constitutions that protected people's rights explicitly.

Americans treat their constitution like the Bible and, also like the Bible, they use it to justify colonizing other countries. Because those authoritarian enemy states don't have freedom like we do or whatever. Of course, reality is pretty much the exact opposite of that.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
