    The graph highlights that during Soviet times at least 20% of wealth is in top10% hands, the party leaders and their cronies. If it was truly communism then the top10% would own 10% of the wealth. The party leaders and their cronies owned a disproportionate amount of wealth. Everyone was equal, but some were more equal among others.

    It also highlights how the erosion of social services and a lack of a federal government opposing corporate interests is to the detriment of its people.

    Authoritarianism is not the way, and neither is crony capitalism in a farcical democracy.

    The mod will ban your account on !memes@lemmy.world E.g. balderdash9@lemmy.zip

    Nothing stops you from using another account on another instance to access the same community, like balderdash10@sh.itjust.works

    I don’t think I alluded to anything in my comment though.

    I could really go for some mouth numbingly spicy noodles.

    Edit: rereading my own comment, I’ve meant that Linkerbaan could have been posting on another community that is not @lemmy.world based. Like technology has multiple communities across multiple instances for example. But it’s been highlighted that they actively post on lemmy.world on purpose. To fight the fight.
