  • Honestly, one of the most inspiring things to me is the Soviet Union. The szarted out as a revolution against monarchy and social democracy, got invaded but managed to throw them out, industrialised at lightning speeds knowing the invaders would be back. Got invaded again by the most vicious of enemies that killed 27 million of your people, but they stay strong and end up winning. Then they go on to achieve scientific and technological successes way faster than the capitalist nations, all the while providing their people with all the basic necessities. I mean think about it, there were just 44 years between the revolution and Gagarin’s space flight. How awesome is that? And they say communism doesn’t work…

    Another thing is China’s poverty alleviation. 800 million raised out of poverty, provided with the tools to build their lives how they see fit. Doesn’t get much more based than improving hundreds of millions of lives
