Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I distinctly remember a John Stossel (American libertarian talking head) special about capitalism and socialism, must’ve been close to 20 years ago. But there was this brief segment of it where he interviewed a socialist politician (they didn’t say Kerala specifically but they said “this state has been run by communists for years” so I assume it was Kerala). Stossel said something about you are poor (referring to generalized Indian poverty) because of your “stupid system”. Nice to see another libertarian dummy getting proven wrong yet again. Many such cases.
..you know, freedom!”
South Indian states are similar to Southeast Asia
North Indian states are similar to the worst parts of Africa, but without the privilege of just having more land
The latter is more capitalistic and conservative
Nonono, poverty is solely a function of the mean wealth of an area and has nothing to do with its distribution.
