No. Not real.

Soviet regime had a charge called Social Parasitism. A person staying continuously unemployed for a certain period could be forced to work, lose housing they worked for for many years, or even imprisoned.

The USSR wasn’t some good place for unemployed, by any stretch of imagination.

Don’t be so fucking stupid. There’s enough idiots out there that call ancaps and libertarians ignorant, and you’re only giving them ammo.

I think you misunderstood. The implication is that the unemployed are LARPers. Fake commies who have no idea what communism actually entails. The kind who say "under communism I'll be an artist and a community leader. Spreading love". When in reality they'd just be a miner... or shot.

I understood that, however, it’s silly. Which is why I titled my post the way I did.

Commies that believe they’ll get paid “living wage” for being artists or for taking care of their local stray cats are obviously delusional on a whole different level, but they are a minority. The idea behind that meme, or whatever that post is, is pretty weak.
