Did you know the Soviet Union was actually a decent place to live and a success?

I agree, although in regards to Stalin's oppression, that kind of oppression did not occur in Maoist China, although that is virtually the only thing here I can criticize.

Talking of China: China 1940- life expectancy, under 40. Now, 70. Literacy rate 1940: under half, now virtually everyone. As for Mao's famine, it's interesting how people seem to forget about the Great Depression, the Bengal famine and the Irish potato famine, all caused by capitalism. The Irish famine caused the death of a much larger proportion of the population too, and could easily have been prevented if the UK reacted differently.

If Russia is such a wonderful place to live. Can you explain to me why there are such food shortages in Russia?

Yeah it "was".

Then the inevitable happened under a Communist system, it collapsed.

ONLY 5-8 Million citizens executed, effectively without trial!!

You're right.... that doesn't sound bad at all.

That was sarcasm. The conversation ENDS at this point....

I don't think you're doing the left any favors posting with a hammer and sickle and defending communism.

If you think "Going bankrupt after 50 years" is a success, then you and I have different definitions of Success.
