My favourite of those memes is the picture of breadlines. People were starving to death everywhere, but the soviets did the bad thing by… giving out bread? The absence of breadlines in the US didn’t mean that people didn’t need it, it just means the US didn’t even provide it.
Yeah it doesn’t make sense in any way. Aren’t the pictures of soviet breadlines from the middle of the great depression or something? I guess that’s why the CIA cooked up “whataboutism” as a deflection
And if people think capitalism = no scarcity is lying to themselves.
Look at the housing crisis, might as well say there’s a “houseline”. There’s literally a shortage of jobs, so I can make a case there’s a “jobline” look at how many businesses and government services there are in literally finding jobs. None of that wouldn’t exist if jobs were abundant.

This is besides the point that there are and were breadlines in the U.S.

There were breadlines in the 80’s particularly during peristroika as well, but again, there were breadlines in the U.S. as well.
