As for your knowledge of history, well that's a bad scar on your teachers.
After the Russian Revolution millions died of starvation and disease. That would of lived under the Czar. Under the Communist the country was bankrupt. Under Capitalism it's becoming a power house financially.
When Mao took over China he too killed millions by starving them, the Chinese Industry such as it was, was devastated. It was Capitalism that saved the country.
Yes things were cheap in Communist countries. That's because only party officials and Mafia had much money. The rest of the people were living on very very little.
You should of come here to Czech and seen what it was like in 1998. Ten years after the revolution it was still pretty poor. Today it's a totally different country, because of Capitalism.
Anyway keep dreaming you will make it under Communism, as you clearly failed under Capitalism.

Are you speaking from experience ? No just what you have been told. You just believe what you read in the tabloids. As you have said many times your distrust for books.
So you would support the Czar and the continuation of the first WW on the Eastern front?
Well the Russian people refused and first put a social democrat in power and when he wanted to continue the war they put the Bolsheviks in power. This was not done by the communists, the Czar and the western powers in their war of colonies brought the system to a state of total collapse.
Then the western powers supported a civil war against the new workers' state.
So you can chalk those deaths up to capitalism, and add to it all the deaths in the 3rd world do to Imperialism from Ireland to China.
Then the wars in Korea Vietnam Iraq and Afghanistan and the deaths due to capitalism out-way the deaths caused in the struggle to overthrow it.
You obsession with being a "loser" or a "winner" revels more about your character than making any telling points with me.
I lived very happily in communist Poland and live happily in London.
