The Time When America Was Truly Free
In 1939, hormonal drugs could be bought over the counter without any control for cosmetic purposes:

The star of the film Judy Garland, who was just 16-years-old, was also left with life-long conditions following the filming of the classic.

She claimed that the studio forced her to take growth-suppressing drugs to maintain her youthful appearance, as well as imposing restrictions on her weight.

Time to recognize that modern Americans are an artful bunch of Nazis and bandits.

	The linked text doesn't confirm if it was over the counter and without prescription. Just that they forced to take it. America was more corrupt back then, so finding some Hollywood doctor who would prescribe whatever the studios want prescribed should have been an issue back then. (Ответить) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	You have about the same opinion about communism, always remembering bribes when it's obvious defects are pointed out to you. So it's not capitalism but the modern state. (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	Because USSR had not communism, but a form of capitalism with slavery, down to managers trying to instigate competition. (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)

There won't ever be any other higher form of communism, since such forms are incompatible with human nature. You can improve it by having a more disciplined fundamental culture, but not by much.

>down to managers trying to instigate competition.

We live in a physical world, there is scarcity. Good luck with not having competition.
