A reminder of the unparalleled advances in public health made by communist states. Even if every absurd fabrication that the anti-communist propagandists like to parrot about the millions supposedly killed by Stalin, Mao, etc. was true, those numbers would pale in comparison to the number of lives they saved, the hundreds of millions of life spans extended by entire decades. And if you want the perfect control sample of what it looks like when you start with nearly identical conditions but don’t have communist central planning, look at India.

    Communism has a proven consistent track record of working, of improving life expectancy, standards of living, of eradicating illiteracy and of creating gender equality.

    Facts don’t care about the feelings of reactionary debate bros: Communism works.

    It is exactly because communism works that reactionary forces have spent so much effort undermining and smearing communist movements. If it was the case that “communism fails every time” there would be no need for the CIA, for Radio Free Asia, for McCarthyism, for building enough nukes to blow up the entire world several times over, for supporting fascists around the globe. All the imperialist nations would have to do was to lean back and let communism fail on its own terms.
