@redsad@ohai.social @alice@lgbtqia.space eh... I'd have still been homeless as I wouldn't have had connections to the party...
I implore the collective Western Fediverse to please stop giving examples with ex-communist residential buildings. Pull up Vienna's social/municipal housing instead. Also not quite fond of exploiting a homeless person to further your point. And I won't even go into arguing about 'socialism'...
Each time this meme rolls through my timeline I roll my eyes - hey look, another naive westerner...

@petko@social.petko.me @redsad@ohai.social @alice@lgbtqia.space yes, I have the same feeling. In socialismus homelessness was treated as social parasitism. Social parasitism was illegal. They weren't given a home by socialistic state. They were punished. Moreover joblessness was also illegal (also seen as social parasitism) and you could be fired and not hired again because you or someone fromm your family weren't conformist enought to the will of the rulling party.
