Sure would be nice if surplus belonged to the working classes to direct towards advancing production, better social safety nets, and reducing working hours while advancing scientifically and developmentally, rather than being directed primarily towards a few wealthy capitalists.
That’s completely unreasonable, if we did that then oligarchs wouldn’t be able to have different yachts for every day of the week or buy elections. Who are we to ask them to give up the necessities of their lives?
It's based on an average for western countries, but of course you can calculate something more specific to your situation with company financial data and taxation rates in your country:
Uhh, I was born there :)
Also, a lot of household stuff makers just continued making products with oldschool packaging, because it was easily recognizable. So if in the USSR you had THE condensed milk in iconic packaging, now you would have many condensed milk brands, but most of them having some kind of variations of the og package. I even have a magnet with it
i can't get over how much it looks like the old hytop brand in the united states.
The Hy-Top brand of private brand groceries was created in the 1950’s to provide independent grocers and neighborhood supermarkets with a way to help their customers save money on groceries…without having to sacrifice quality.

if only it were just yachts; the epstein files shows what they actually use the money for and it makes we wish i hadn't looked at them.

had to look this up and french prose makes this difficult to understand; a paraphrase into english prose makes more sense:

Don't be a commie! Be content with 40% of the value of your work. They might even give you 41% if you defend your capitalist masters.

40%? Where do you work because I certainly don't get that high of a percentage

FYI, the package is styled as a soviet baking soda pack

Ironically, the US had a more communist looking baking soda
