  • Yeah, a rare Soviet L, i guess there were troubles in tax collection during NEP, since iirc it was implemented around that point. Still, the context of this tax in socialism and capitalism is kinda different, right now indirect taxes in general are main part of overall regressive tax system (like in Poland poor people pay total around 60% tax, rich one 20-30% and richest who know how much, probably even less). And Poland for example did not had VAT in socialism.


















  • Some better reasons to celebrate on this day:

    • Battle of Mantinea 362 BC, Sparta and Athens got fucked, never recover
    • Battle of Hattin 1187, crusaders got fucked, never recover
    • Battle of Kursk starts, 1943 Germans got fucked, never recover
    • Zimbabwean War of Liberation starts, 1964, settlers got fucked, never recover

    Overall though much more shitty things happened, bad day overall.
