  • On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.

    Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.

    Anyway, I remember how I once had to break news to a person who had either voluntarily or involuntarily set up BitLocker on their work computer and didn’t know how to access their data anymore, and I had to tell them “sorry, you’re out of luck” (now that I’m thinking, maybe there was a recovery code backed up in OneDrive?..) It’s for the best to leave it opt-in for now.
