Don't worry, nobody read Marx - most of those declaring allegiance to Marxism today know him from third-party explainers like those written by David Harvey, which are filled with statements like "this Marx statement is indeed cryptic but lets assume he meant X", desperately trying to make sense out of nonsense.

I can imagine this happening - these Uaz-496 are quite spacious and simple skeleton chairs, so you can actually load much more people inside than into a regular car. I was driving these a lot, packing 10 adults was nothing impossible - especially when drunk 😂

Brezhnev's talks with Giscard d'Estaing (1977), complaining that people who criticise #ussr are "well paid".

Technically, Brezhnev is right: in 80's Poland average salary was like $20 per month, which was probably 1/100-1/10 of what people in the West earned at the time, so literally anyone there was indeed "well paid", including those few who talked badly about USSR.

@Wetrix Of course, because too few people left WhatsApp so their rational choice is just to ignore leavers 🤷

@cjd So seems like Dawkins made a hypothesis, and it has been now demonstrated experimentally.

@cjd

On Twitter where I originally found it someone actually did mention Dawkins in comments to this article!
