I don't think you can say the Soviet Union solved anything.
I'm afraid I don't follow you. If homelessness was abolished and essentially everyone in a country with 300 million people was housed, why can't I say that housing was solved?
Incredible!
If only we applied your thought process to other areas.
For example, did you know that the Soviet Union had less gun violence than the United States does? This must mean we should be more like the Soviet Union!
No, for what it's worth, no we should not be more like the Soviet Union. They used gun control to quell rebellion and killed millions. Numbers do not paint the picture you think they do, they represent what was recorded. There are plenty of reasons to question those records, if you actually take the time to think about it.
You couldn't resist the temptation to sneak in that completely irrelevant bit about "gun control". You've overplayed your hand.
Overplayed my hand?
No, dipshit — I've just got a clear grasp on reality.
