That the liberals did defend him so much more than they defend us marginalized or comrades exposes their objective effects.

the time tax to get basic life done was pretty absurd
True, but it was much less than now for plenty of things in the USA right now. This includes healthcare, child care, universities, education, holidays, public transport, funnily even flats at this point if you are looking at SF or Berlin.
Pretty much everything you needed for everyday life or a substitute you could get fast. What was your experience living there?
Sure there was "Bückware", but the standard of things you could get without large time expenditure was decent and much better than it is now for plenty of poor in the USA. With the advances in productivity and technological prospects since then what level of consumption could we create now? With near instant availability and stock information for consumers, retail, logistics and producers?
it was grey as fuck
With plenty of green areas in which trees had to grow (you see it now) and also a ton of Lauben/Datschas and regular holidays in greenery. Cities could've been much more colorful indeed.
An example of what I mean btw… our church had a missionary to West Germany that visited. He told us in the East, there was a bus of schoolchildren from the West driving through. The police boarded their bus and found a Bible, so they pulled all the kids out and shot them. Literally all the grown ups in my church uncritically believed this story.
Those slanderous things luckily can't survive the internet. But the sentiment can. The lies evangelicals tell is absurd.
I remember plenty of both USSR and GDR and have to admit that 50 is more close to remembering it properly.
40: ~7 when history ended
50: ~17
60: ~27 (so maybe even finished some education or marriage or kids)
70: ~37
80: ~47
90: ~57
If you are part of those groups write a bit down or record a bit please.
The social aspect of suggestions and such.
Very good observation. The movie was very much inspired by the prison industrial complex, which did learn from camps, prisons, forced mining camps and soldier barracks.

South African miners' or prisoners' beds in Gauteng differ by not having mattresses and a ladder in terms of configuration from OP's picture.
Capitalism will always fall back onto itself. If you want to know what Capitalism will do look into apartheid South Africa and how much evil was there. Landlords goals will be to increase the number of people to the profit maximum, which will be more than one person per bed.
I feel that the limit to that i.e. concentration/extermination camps will have racial, antisemitic, colonial or fascist elements to it, as the goal is then often not the maximization of profit, but the minimization of cost (there are some Marxist-ish influenced Historians who roughly make that point in regard to the destruction through labour during Hitlerism's holocaust).
Contrast the SF flat with a museum's flat from the GDR which was produced on scale starting in 1973.
Other relevant terms might be coffin homes (Singapour, HK under British rule and the after effects of it) or cage homes.
What Lenin, Deng and Xi know is that it is good to acquire the knowledge of experts. All of them did that and the West is mad about it. The very system they espouse does forbid them to interfere with that (in theory).
However this article is propaganda as it tries to implicate that "bad" China isn't able to do stuff without "good" China. Which is bullshit.
How many voices / thoughts are we talking about?
My internal voice doesn't explain, it is a thought based quasi verbal experience of what I think about, specific sentences I form like sentences (unless I take drugs). It doesn't explain my thoughts.
I can't do most things you describe.
It is a different thing.
I did a small comment about the "commission" wich found the Nazis as not guilty. It was a farce and you can find it in my profile. Don't believe anyone who says the commission found the unit "not guilty" that is wrong, as it implies a lawful process.
