Just like they did to me, when they said the only thing that drew me to communism was “propaganda” as opposed to my time working under capitalism. The difference is that I discounted their unsubstantiated claims about statistical facts while they discounted my own journey.

Yeah but you did it first.

According to Quora? Great, so now we have two internet randos saying something.

I mean you could get up off your butt and look yourself if you have a problem with the source I provided. Like I said there's a wealth of information out there regarding the subject. You could also try to dispute my source instead of just dismissing it out of hand - like you did to u/Blacklazor.

Finally. Say what you will about Russian state media, but at least it’s more of a source than random people on the internet, which you seem to primarily rely on.

Ahh, so you'll trust media from the oppressors you agree with. So basically you're a tankie equvalent of MAGA.

What on earth?? “The account checks out” when they were exaggerating somewhere between 2-5 times the actual numbers?

So you didn't actually read anymore about the subject, right? Why am I not suprised.

The claim was not, “you had to wait 20-30 years for an upgrade” it was specifically "You weren’t getting any housing in that system. You could enlist in a queue and wait for 20-30 years to get piss poor commie block apartment." That’s completely unsupported by your sources.

Read the rest of that paragraph please. I'll post it here to make it easy for you.

You weren’t getting any housing in that system. You could enlist in a queue and wait for 20-30 years to get piss poor commie block apartment. My father was one of very few people who were just well enough for building a house. He was struggling with money, rationing of materials, corruption and poor quality of work, while our family of four lived in 20m2 apartment like animals in stables.

I.e. His family of four lived in a 20 sqm apartment (less than 9sqm per person) and would have to wait 20-30 years to get a "piss poor commie block apartment." I don't think it's unreasonable to characterize "waiting 20-30 years" as "never." Now if you'd read the sources I posted you'd see this aligns very closely with what is described - that being most people who weren't rich or connected to an oligarch had to wait more than 10 years for an apartment. I even found a source that broke it down into a nice and helpful chart - see if you can find that source yourself.

I mean, I know you won't becuase this hands your ass to your arguement on a sliver platter with a side of trimmings, and if there's one thing people like you can't stand it's being proved wrong, bu whatever.

As it turns out, I was 100% right to be skeptical, because your own sources back me up and show that the other person was completely wrong.

Except in real life it wasn't, what u/blacklazor described aligns pretty well with the accounts on both pages, and other sources you will find if you just quit being lazy and put in the effort.

Skipping the rest of the bullshit you posted for my own mental health. There is a wealth of information that you can get with a few simple googles, please read up and stop embarassing yourself.
