So slavery as indentured servitude is the American future. Way to “new model” the old model.

    Idk what the AI used as source, but most western sources on the Soviet Union are intentionally biased against it.

    In the Soviet Union, the union membership rates were astronomically high, higher than essentially anywhere else at the time. Unions provided training after work for workers who wanted a basic education. For workers who wanted higher education while working, the concept of “night degrees” was conceived, in which workers could attend special classes at night in university, with reduced number of lessons to be given a certain title. This is still a thing in post-soviet states like Russia.

    I can confirm all of this. Sources: Albert Szymanski’s “Human Rights in the Soviet Union”, A. Zverev’s “Lo que percibe el trabajador soviético además de su salario”, and personal accounts from Russian and Ukrainian acquaintances.
