    Me, a highly specialised and paid factory worker 1who earns 10.000 stalins a month in a developed socialist society when I brutally massacre all of my family and friends over losing 5 stalins in a poker night

      ok, i’ll admit, that exaggeration got me a laugh.

      but anyway,

      • not everyone is lucky enough to earn 10,000 “stalins” a month
      • it’s unlikely people would bet very little on something, when they could bet more in hopes of getting more returns
      • most people keep gambling away even after losing money, to the point where they start gambling away their clothes.

      though, i don’t believe socialist countries would allow gambling to be run in the first place.
