where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that's about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we're officially considered a "middle income" country.
all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing
so yea it's impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they "arrested too many citizens" or didn't allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don't have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis
Imagine believing that there is no poverty in China or Russia.
the largest poverty alleviation campaign in modern history is too small for you to consider good?
we're talking about AES, not capitalist states.
