First of all, thanks for a constructive comment. Rare find when discussed politics online.
- In theory, yes, but in practice, it was not like that. A director of a company would earn max 30% more than the low level employees. If you would perform exceptionally, no one would care. And then you would stand in line for 7h to buy a banana because everyone had almost equal amount of money. Don’t get me started. How many years would you have to wait to get a car.
- On second thought, I agree with you on this one. It’s more a central control and inability for private people to own business and means of production that caused famines.
- 5 year plan is a horrible example. As it caused a famine that killed 5.7 to 8.7 million people. It’s huge sacrifice for a 118% production growth. Take a look at this article on wikipedia It’s like Russian land conquests through history, yeah great you now have lots of land but at what costs. Blood and bones of your brothers and sisters and all your neighbors.
- Absolutely, this was happening under Soviet rule. There was a massive trade of favors and bribes. It was not monetary, however. Perhaps someone got some nice cheese from france, so now you can skip line at a hospital. Or perhaps you know a guy in crimea that could host your friend in a beachhouse, and your friend happens to be in charge of allocating appartments so you get one a bit nicer than the other people. Source: geneactions of stories of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and great grandparents. I’m from a country that was a former Soviet state.
- Fair point.
Why do you think? Because if you go against it you go to jail.
Pure comunism sounds nice at first glance, but it also has major issues. Under comunism every one is equal, however inherently people are not equal and should be rewarded accordingly. What this leads to is that high performers are rewarded as much as lazy bums. This causes stagnation in production output as why try hard when you can chill. And as history tells us with Soviet Union, can lead to massive famines. It also creates parallel economies of bribes and favours because well connected and productive people still want to be above every one else, this gives unfair advantage mafias and criminals. As they have no moral problem abusing these parallel economies.
In my opinion, no pure system is good if it’s comunusim or capitalism. You have to have a bit of everything like in Scandinavian countries or some Western european countries. You need to reward high performers but not too much. You need to take care of the weak and sick but do not make it that it’s not worth working. You have to allow equal access to education no matter your background so everyone has the same starting point.
What are you talking about? The mechanism of punishment is sanctions. Isolation. Crippling economy. Not war. War is the choice of Russia. It can stop whenever it wants. Nobody is preventing it.
I’m not from us. My government does not contribute to Isreal at all. We hoever contribute as much aid to Palestine and Ukraine as we can. I’m not from a rich country, so it’s a drop in a bucket…
War crimes are war crimes. It’s not a contest who collects more or collects less. You make one that should be enough to get your economy crippled by others. Sadly, one is not punished enough, another not at all.
The fact the Israel does war crimes does not excuse Russia doing war crimes. Both should be punished.
Un4@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands31·7 months agoThey believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.
It’s clearly an animated mode of a eigen value analysis. Therefore it’s “displacements” that a structure experience when subject to a vibration at it’s natural frequency. However the actual maginitude of these displacements have no meaning it is only to represent type of deformation shape one would see. If it were stress or strain you would see colors close to the base (support) of the beam.

Tried to reverse image search, not much out there. I wonder what’s the original source.

It is faster just to download it from a torrent lower quality directly than jump through these hoops. And if I am doing that, why do then I need a media center anyway, I can just go back to the old days playing downloaded files directly.
The only thing holding me in plex is transcoded downloads.
Un4@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and FamilyEnglish7·1 year agoI tried jellyfin a year ago and could not switch as it did not have transcoded downloads feature. All of my library is 4k HDR and do not want to download dozens of gb of movies on my phone when traveling. Do you know by any chance that they have implemented this feature already?
I simply replied to your comment with highlighted word ‘ended’ to prove it did not end it. Now you shift the narrative. Not cool, not cool.
Edit: to add, this famine was not caused by some remnant of problems from previous rulers. It was a direct effect of Soviet policy.
