Re: Disabled In Socialist Countries
My personal problem with socialism in of itself and especially how communism was practiced in the 20th century is the focus around the state; I just don't think the two are compatible. Like, it could work for a while but its also risky and vulnerable to exploitation. I'm actually getting really into studying the history of socialism/communism in the last few months and exploring how it failed in the 20th century is really interesting, not just for political reasons but also for understanding centralization vs decentralization models.
IMHO a large part of the problem with a lot of soviet bloc countries was that the soviet union imho was a bit... eugenicist. They were also not keen on homosexuals either. Heck, this is part of the problem with centralization (although this problem is related to the state existing as an authority rather than the structure of the state). Actually, I think the biggest debate I have with modern communists is trying to prove that the state isn't "the people" but is something "else" and that's the biggest flawed in centralized planning (and I say the same thing about the right too). When the state decides your fate you're no longer free, you're no longer "the people".
I DO definitely think that accessibility should be socialized though. However, instead of being managed by the government, the government should fund non-commercial entities help fund accessible solutions. Like, think world governments donating large sums to the NVDA project so that they can have more developers dedicate more time to it.
P.S. Capitalism is super flawed but I don't want to go into detail with my criticisms right now
EDIT: This seems like an appropriate time to point out that Vladimir Lenin was probably the best ruler that Russia ever had. If you ever want a trip, read about the history of the tsars; suddenly the bolshevik revolution makes a lot more sense lmao
