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.

Yeah puerto ricans where used as the examplary of “poverty culture” where due to their inherent culture they would breed uncontrollably and imbue traits in their children which systematically stifle their ability to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” (it was literally called Operation Bootstrap) into higher education.

This was the era of “family planning” and neo-malthusian mania about India and Africa needing to institute a one-child policy or otherwise they would “eat up” the planet.
