I’m familiar with Mr Lysenko and his work, trusting him was one of those poor political decisions I referred to.

As for “using products of capitalism”, ask them why they use a phone made in communist China.

There was only ever one famine in the USSR, partly caused by kulaks burning grain. There were dozens of famines under the Tsars.

The same goes for China, there were dozens of famines under the emperors.

Communism ended famine.

Were those famines caused by poor political decisions? Possibly, but both countries were emerging from feudal subsistence farming, and had been ravaged by bitter civil wars. The position they were in meant even a single poor political decision could have caused a famine, if we were in that position today, with the leaders we have, we would all be dead.

Have parents tried parenting their kids instead of expecting everyone else to do it for them?

A disaster that causes a lot of bad publicity despite the majority (62/97) of the passengers surviving, and that may have been caused by sabotage?

Before those there was “new math”

I’ll take brave over Cambridge Analytica any day.

Also ublock blocks 31% of that “news” site as trackers, lol.

Traditionally numbers in text should be written out fully, so “three hundred and twenty seven” instead of “327”

Also western Arabic numerals are relatively new to English, before we used Roman numerals, which are all upper case.
