      But! But! Weren’t they going to nationalize all women??

      spoiler

      Equally devastating was the story about the nationalization of women. […] for months [this] was assiduously taught to the American People as truth.

        Weird that they didn’t keep going with that. Though I suppose the CHUDs these days demand a “state issued girlfriend” so it would probably make them more supportive, not less.

          I remember reading that some guys actually went to RSFSR to check this and came back disappointed. Some didn’t came back since after knowing the truth about RSFSR they became communists, and probably this scared the Hearst so much that he abandoned this line and invented the hologramodomor, which is much safer since nobody gonna go and check famine.

            They probably do … They probably or won’t realise that, forcing another to be with them, even if the person chose to work the state agency that does “state assigned life partners” would quickly find the partner won’t like their negativity or abusive ways. Then they’ll see what it’s like having someone who doesn’t want them. They’ll see that it’s so awful for them …
