Might be true if commie systems were just that bad (I’m not a history buff so I dunno), but here in America our safety net can be pretty shitty depending on what state you live in
Myself if I decided to stop working as a single adult man, let’s say with no friend/family supports, I’d be pretty fucked
Sure, I get free healthcare with no income which is the best part IMO. But not much beyond that. The amount of $$ I would get for food stamps would really help with dieting lol
And “welfare” or TANF simply doesn’t exist for single adults. Even SSID is damn hard to get in my state and doesn’t pay shit if you do. You have to be basically lifelong bat shit psychotic (not depressed, not anxious, not OCD, not bi-polar, none of that) to have a chance in hell of getting it for mental health reasons. Or you better be able to not move at all to get it for medical reasons. You could have a literal terminal illness with a few months left to live and you apply and you can ambulate, somewhat, denied
So I’d be left with free healthcare but still no income and no place to live. And there’s no room at shelters. So I would end up with ample opportunity to utilize that free healthcare in the form of all the infections and diseases I would pick up from living under a bridge or in a storm drain
But this is just in my state, others like CA might roll out the red carpet, I dunno
But I’m not a “whiny progressive” because of this. My takeaway is “get your shit together, no one is coming to save you”
