    If one video with no context or backstory of an asian man breaking a bump helmet with a safety helmet with a title claiming it’s because the workers are given cheap helmets is enough to destroy your world view of socialism/communism then perhaps your world view is a little too fragile.

      I used to be like this so I understand. It’s mostly because libs gaslight you into a strawman making you think that socialist countries have to be perfect paradises otherwise they’re worthless and Orwellian hell. It’s better to just admit and understand that it’s a human society that will have flaws and there will be some bad things that happen. Libs do this all the time, all the time they admit bad things about capitalism but can brush it aside as a bad but isolated instances, why can’t we leftists do that? Why does socialism have to be perfect 24/7 all the time?
