>Your inference is false.
That OP loves capitalism? Their comments speak for themselves, yours don’t.
>Good references though don't illustrate that communism is the solution to homelessness.
You asked for references specifically on my comment saying communist countries have made progress combatting homelessness, whereas the US has only gotten worse. You didn’t ask me for citations on how communism is the solution to homelessness. That’s called moving the goal post, focus.
>How do you think the Uyghurs feel about it?
How do you think African slaves felt? What about the refugee children still being separated from their parents at the border?

I didn’t say they said that.
In communist countries homelessness is quite low comparatively to the US. They’ve made a lot of progress in the last few decades whereas things have only gotten worse in the US for years now.

Capitalism is all sunshine and rainbows, if you ignore that 3 million children experienced homelessness last year, 10% of all families have food insecurity, 60% of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and over 12% of Americans live below the poverty line.
All the while the biggest companies see record profits and are buying up all the property in the US so that they can deny you housing.
Good thing we don’t have communism though!

Reply to TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat
Is this the same story from the duolingo podcast?
