Not a single capitalist country has eliminated homelessness. Why is that? Why are life expectancies falling in the US?
Also, Berlin is in the middle of East Germany.
The wall was to separate what was basically an island of Western control from the rest of East Germany. It was kind of a weird political situation.
USSR “solved” homelessness putting people in prisons and psychiatric hospital… and even then there still was homeless people. Authoritarianism doesn't work.
And Berlin west was a weird political situation, but my argument still holds. People flee DPRK or China…
The US puts more people in prison than the USSR ever did, yet its homeless population is huge.
And there isn't a giant wall around China lol
Authoritarianism doesn't work, whether capitalistic or communist.
And travel is very restricted in China.
Seems to be working so far. 🙄
China's life expectancies have recently surpassed the US. Did you know that?
