We don't pretend that people in russia live better than people in usa, do we?

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 12 points 8 months ago

Certainly not as much as they used to since capitalists overthrew the USSR.

Well, clearly some people are.

Sure, I can say that about any two countries in the world. EDIT: I understood your comment as some people are actually living better and not as some people do pretend that

No, of course we don't. The Berlin Wall fell, Russia is a capitalist shithole these days.

If you don’t have health insurance in the US, Russia is better if you ever get sick. Not even an argument.
