They define the cultural idea of communism
I hate being "that guy" tm but
The Soviet Union only briefly played with the idea of communism before committing to a single party socialist Republic. Modern day Russia is an autocratic dictatorship hiding in a Trenchcoat with "democracy" written on it.
China is again, a one party state which is, in truth, a Republic. China's historical dances with "communism" are rather similar to that of the USSR wherein an offshoot of marxist-leninism was implemented, modified and then used, ultimately landing closer... Again to a socialist Republic and now being effectively an autocratic dictatorship hiding in a Trenchcoat... Etc. Etc.
Neither country in my opinion ever reached the illusory "true communism". Maybe the west is right and it's a failed ideology, maybe "it just hasn't had the right leader yet" but ultimately, I believe most political ideologies have good bits that we can take notes on to improve the lives of others.
I apologize for any historical or political inaccuracies, wrote this with knowledge from the best of my memory while on the toilet at work
Direct conversion for $599 USD to Canadian dollars works out to about $800. NVIDIA has just decided that they can get more than that out of us with regional pricing
I was going to reply, thought better of it, and then read this comment.
Opinions don't matter. Actions matter.
And supporting an action which is harmful gives support to those who are undertaking the harmful action. Even if you disagree with the right to elective abortions, there are states and countries which have banned abortions in medically emergent situations. Their actions will be responsible for 2 deaths instead of one in these situations. Get off the cross, we need the wood.
As someone who works on both daily
Linux forces allows you to go elbow deep in research and application of a fix to truly understand what change is being made
Windows (by default) allows forces you to apply some bandages and paint unless you have and know how to use the third party tools (for the purposes of this comparison I'm ignoring regedit, compmgmt, WMIC, others)
It's a copypasta
I often think that to myself as well to be honest. Originally, it was mostly because it's the only "secure" system that I'm currently hosting and I wanted the ability to airgap it without taking the rest of my homelab offline.
I mostly use my homelab for tinkering/applying what I'm learning without breaking a production system at work so needless to say I've learned a lot since I originally deployed bitwarden... Now it's just because I'm too lazy to spin a new vm and migrate everything.
Prefacing by saying my lab is severely breaking some a lot of best practices due to hardware availability limitations

I won't say you're wrong, after all, what do I know, I'm not a politician.
But the point of my comment is that the two countries which are most touted as examples of "communisms failings" were never really communist in the first place, regardless of what they labelled themselves as, they were single party socialist Republics. Both failed to eliminate class divides, neither had the workers control the means of production as they were still pawns of the government, failed to eliminate parties altogether, etc. Etc.
