Comrades, pretty please give me your yummy yummy facts and anecdotes about the silent atrocities in your favorite countries.

I'm making this in light of CPC's elimination of destitution in 2021 (by the standards of the 2 No Worries and 3 Guarantees) and thereby their largest source of social murder.

So far it looks like they're the only ones to have accomplished this?

In Germany, the social safety net is designed to keep you alive but in poverty, which still results in visible destitute populations that experience social murder.

I have a huge blind spot in Central Asia, Russia and Africa. Please help.

Spitballing and guesswork is highly appreciated.

I'm Eastern European myself and even as a clueless liberal I remember looking at myself and other people in my social circle - all of us growing up in the later 90s and 00s - and thinking huh isn't it a weird coincidence how basically all of us have all sorts of childhood trauma. Broken families, alcoholism, domestic violence, poverty, sexual abuse, so much misery flowing from the destruction of the socialist East.

Some extra material (warning: depressing):
