ALT This image contrasts the experience of being a communist in a free country versus attempting to be free in a communist country. The top section features an outline of the United States styled like the American flag with the text: "IT'S EASY TO BE A COMMUNIST IN A FREE COUNTRY." The bottom section has a red background with silhouettes of historical communist figures and a hammer and sickle emblem, accompanied by the text: "BUT TRY BEING FREE IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY." This juxtaposition highlights the differences between capitalist and communist systems.

Ok, what does that have to do with the meme? And that is if we go of the USSR's word, which it was knownt to lie. It did not even track the statistic.
it also criminalized being homeless.
The moment you are homeless in America, you are a second-class citizen.
Many organizations that aid the unsheltered advise people to pay their rent before food because it is nearly impossible to get reliable support once you are on the street.
And this is the American assumption by incorporating the imprisoned.
I even gave America the advantage of not including our imprisoned population.
Cope.
That is included in the statistic. Without acknowledging that, it would be 0%.
Being homeless is a crime in many American states, and we still have a ridiculously high homelessness rate. We incarcerate more people than anywhere else in the world, as a matter of fact.
This doesn't even address the fact that China has far more people and less homelessness than the U.S.

In 1990, the number of homeless people was around 300,000
Divided among the population of about 288 million at the time, that is 0.0001145%
The 0.03% rounds up by adding the prison population, although I gave the U.S. a handicap by not including it; it is STILL high.
