There has been a much stronger capital supply than in a shattered group of countries.

The EU does not exist as a unit, it's 27 sovereign states cooperating. In the EU the single market is an achievement across countries, but can't compare with single large internal markets.

China as the second economy of the world managed to succeed with a centralised plan.

So I think market size and economic power is a bigger indicator than centralised vs not.

azmodeus··on Paying freelancers in equity and dividends
I love seeing into Gumroad so much. Very curious if it's worth 100 M at the moment based on dividends

In 2023: 20.7 M Revenue - 8.9 M net income - 5.34 M dividend

With no net income growth would take about 19 years for the dividends to pay out your original investment

azmodeus··on A lavish lifestyle strains credibility (1985)
Looking at your statements from a Hungarian perspective, I think you are wrong

1. The USSR always discriminated non Russian speakers. 2. Collectivisation and military occupation was used as a large scale wealth transfer. In addition forced reeducation camps and population swaps were used to put Russian observers into positions where they were first amongst equals

Russian imperialism has always been the core of the Soviet union.

When people rised up against Russian occupation they got slaughtered in Hungary in 1956 and later in 1968 with the Prague Spring Russian oppression continued
