“Muh Soviet in a supermarket” story in 2023? My comment was also about McDonald’s in the USSR, so they’re feeling super exceptionalist over fast food slop.
Link You can’t see this through Hexbear because they were banned for racism, war crime apologism and ableism 
Meanwhile on Sunday I went to my local grocery store and they had no carts. They said they removed carts because people kept stealing by filling them up and walking out the door. I wandered around a few minutes and wasn’t able to find much on my list because they were out of what I needed. And then I left without getting anything and ate out instead.
Sounds like capitalism grocery store isn’t so good after all
Critical support for the capitalist grocery store for letting people have free food 🫡
Some shops here have started requiring you to surrender your photo ID to the customer service staff as collateral for a plastic hand basket. I actually couldn’t believe it.
Communist theory is thousand page tomes. Liberal theory is a series of unverifiable anecdotes.
Excuse me but Harry Potter is not an anecdote.
There is actually a pretty sizeable corpus of liberal philosophy and theory, but it’s not really meant for the average non-bourgeois lib, especially since those types of guys are generally pretty uncurious and operate mostly on vibes (and propaganda)
All the important foundational liberal economic theory was written before or during Marx’s lifetime and Marx tore it to shreds. He dedicates tens of thousands of words and dozens of citations to discussing Adam Smith alone, and he actually kinda likes Adam Smith. All liberal economics since Marx has been lame attempts at repudiating or obfuscating the existence of surplus value, or class in general.

I see you’ve not lost your touch.
No wonder liberal smuglords like the “TL;DR” thought terminating cliche so much.
yo this mf spittin straight fire you should write some books
Go on then, dismiss me with your hexbear memes and be gone.
So pouty
New tagline just dropped
Real choice is going into the cereal aisle in a grocery store and seeing eighteen different brands of HFCS all owned by the same company.
So many times when I go to the grocery store I end up thinking of the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin’s dad loses his shit over peanut butter
context for the Supermarket
The great American supermarket lie
author of “Supermarket USA: Food and Power in the Cold War Farms Race”
So while middle-class consumers enjoyed a bounty of cheap and convenient food, small farmers, farmworkers, low-income consumers and supermarket employees suffered to make it all possible. Instead of embodying the supposedly inherent superiority of capitalism, the supermarket demonstrated how it produced winners and losers.
WaPo published this???
As if liberals will bother reading anything about subjects they’re self-proclaimed experts in
Commies say the dumbest shit
Okay guy who named themself after a Nazi warplane
Okay now do uninsured person from a former Soviet state trying to get health care
Always funny when someone thinks American Exceptionalism means America is exceptionally great
She was probably crying at the price
USSR: Supermarket items are a little basic, the interiors aren’t too ritzy, etc. but everyone is well fed and there wasn’t a horrifying system of exploitation that was needed to put food on the shelves. This is literally 1984.
‘Murica: one thousand flavors of sliced white bread brought to you by millions of suffering workers, plus they painted the interior green so it’s basically a luxury hotel. Behold, freedom and democracy!
I grew up in a family of colonial enforcers
I can’t imagine why someone would include this information and expect anyone would take them seriously
My favorite is when the non-bear link will have several times the comments but they’re all trash.
I’m glad storm.front pre-emptively final resortedly defederated from us, because their comments are always by far the worst.
Reminder that a lot of the food sitting on the shelves in pretty much any western grocery store is not even going to get sold but will just end up in a landfill.
That person hates communism so much holy shit. They’re definitely clinging to “communism bad” to justify some fucked up shit in their life.
Stories that totally happened for $500, Alex
And that Soviet’s name was Albert Einstein
And then the Navy Seals came out and clapped and a bald eagle flew through the store as the national anthem came on the speakers
