And Soviet communism is not a dead-end? 🤔

Other countries (eg India) copied different aspects of the Soviet constitution. Learn something from it. And what the other commenter said.

Europe including U.K. in the 1960s-1970s had such an implicit job guarantee btw, though not as a right.

Just look at how the living standards in the west have declined since the dissolution of USSR and rise of neoliberalism. See https://redsails.org/concessions/

No, it was extremely successful and boasted the fasted rate of economic growth in human history while also defeating the most devastating invasion of all time, until it was illegally dissolved against the wishes of its people in a violent CIA-backed coup, leading to the worst humanitarian disaster since the second world war.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
