Would you want to live in this country?

[KostasKouvalis]

There are male dominated sectors and female dominated sectors, BUT, men and women earn the same. A basic labourer can often earn more than his boss. Only 6% of your income is taxed. Unemployment is almost non-existent. Anyone who WANTS a job is guatanteed one by the government. Children are taught from a very young age that working is respectable. Employers get 4 weeks vacation time, and their companies even organize holidays for them, often to health spas run by the labour unions. Co-workers go for beer after each shift. Bosses help their employees with any problems they may be having, work related or personal. Overtime pay and bonuses still exist, even if you are on a pension. Certain sectors are honoured with public holidays.

There is no mass advertising. The best consumer goods are found only through word of mouth, forcing people to socialize. Speaking of socializing, local phone calls are free.

Some residents are given housing by the government, even those who aren't, pay very little, so homelessness is very low. Land is often owned by the government, but anything extra left over from production quota, the owner can eat or profit from. Those who want a car can get one from the government for low cost.

Children bring their teachers flowers on first day of school, and they also recieve gifts. The government helps them with enrolment fees for things like sports and arts. Schools also organize trips for students as a reward for good work, at no cost to them. Hard work is rewarded.

Healthcare and education costs very little out of pocket.

Crime is low. People are selfless, kind, joyous and sociable. Over 100 different ethnic groups all living in harmony. And there is strong emphasis on preserving cultural traditions.

What if I told you that this country, was the SOVIET UNION?

With such a generous system and only a 6% tax rate the economy would eventually collapse, then everyone would end up working 20 hours a day and getting paid in potatoes. Sounds good on paper, but unrealistic

But wouldn't it be great while it lasted?

Of course :) Socially and culturally, that’s actually what the city I was born and raised in was like. Kids were encouraged to get into arts and sports, dudes would hang out by the lake after work having drinks, and there were almost no problematic neighbors or crime. You could go for a walk alone at 1am without worrying.

The only thing I didn’t like was that everyone knew everyone. Whenever I go back, I run into some random boomer who remembers my childhood. 😂

Now I live in a big city, and don’t even know the name of the neighbor I see every day

[KostasKouvalis]

I know what you mean😂

@KostasKouvalis THAT SOUNDS LIKE COMMUNISM TO ME

This sounds like the intended outcome of socialism, but it never works out that way.

[KostasKouvalis]
