In my country food was rationed, you would wait in endless queues for hours just to get 1/4 of a bread. There was not much other than bread, milk and some vegetables (meat was rare). If you did not have a job, the state would take you and send you to a crazy big project of the state where you would probably die (work camp). If you had different oppinions about politics, you were basically captured, tortured and then killed. Every second neighbour was an informer for the state, no one to trust. Maybe your country was much better, but I can’t understant how you can praise that. I love the ideology of socialism, but USSR was a horrible implementation of that.
Ah yeah, it’s so much better now with seniors living under the bridges and scavenging for food in the trash. Also, it’s funny how you ignore the fact that USSR existed under a siege during the entirety of the Cold War right after having been invaded by fascists during the second world war and was not allowed to develop peacefully. Then after USSR fell, the west immediately poured a bunch of money into Poland and the Baltics to prop them up which is where a bit of prosperity some people saw actually came from. Meanwhile, go look at what happened to other republics which weren’t of interest to western propaganda. See how people are doing there now.
And sure, USSR could have done better in many ways. It was literally the first attempt at building socialism. However, what happened after has demonstrably been a disaster on an unimaginable scale. And now it might even lead to a third world war and a nuclear holocaust.
