    To all who think that AI creates new possibilities for the state to surveillance the people, remember what Stasi was able to do completely without computers. Evil ideologies will control their citizens perfectly fine without AI

    13:07 there is a Russian story called Pavlik Morozov, little boy Pavel lived in a village and as much as I can remember I think the parents were communist, the kid felt a need to snitch and snitched to the facists and the parents were killed, shows how easily kids are brainwashed to be loyal to the state.

    Most evil secret police ever is an extremely high bar, and tbh, there have definitely been worse. Not that they weren't terrible, but let's not pretend the same methods weren't used even more ruthlessly in places like Cambodia, Uganda or the occupied territories in Palestine, just to name a few.

    For whatever good qualities Socialism has, it seems like it would have been better if instead of pooling resources into spying on civilians they'd of just used it for stuff like clothing, jobs, shelter, or other essentials. I suppose you could say the same thing about Democracy to a certain extent.

    I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care about what Russia does in East Germany in 1947, only a few years after Germany killed 20 million Russians. God forbid they not be respecting the human rights of Germans at that point in time. How dare that man's phone be tapped!

    I love the anticommunist propaganda of the fully fascist-turned fern. They were bought one night and everything went full usual USA pro-fascist at that point.
