Maybe, but the quality will be bad enough that you'll miss the old system. The Soviet system is far from the utopia that modern "tankies" will have you believe.

Maybe, but the quality will be bad enough that you'll miss the old system. The Soviet system is far from the utopia that modern "tankies" will have you believe. The parts of my family that stayed in Russia were killed by the Holodomor, a state-denied semi-intentional slaughter of the annoying peasants.
Surprisingly, only one of my family members died in the Gulags. The rest were executed before they got there.
- whydoibother 5y agoI love when right wingers bust out the holodomor as if it’s this ultimate horror that would never happen in the US capitalist system. You realize about a quarter of a million people die due to poverty each year in the us, right? Not to mention drug deaths and deaths from the violence in those areas. Let’s focus on the modern atrocities we are letting happen than going mustache man bad.
