You are right, there is a small typo ^^.
According to them there was no crime and everyone had a work.
These are things that only people that have never lived under socialism can say. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Mainly the problem with the socialism was just the politicans. So if they are not corrupt than no problem.
Socialism's problems are not only the inevitable corruption caused by having too much power in the hands of just a few power-hungry politicians. It is also an immoral ideology that isn't compatible with freedom and can only be implemented / maintained through the use of force. It is not a coincidence that socialists governments always end up being totalitarian murderers.

Dont joke with me😂 i born and grow up in eastern europe mate. And here the old people like my grandparents or neightbours they survived much more than we. Even from the word wars many of them they have different memories what we learned from the books.
I believe them to be honest. People in USA or western eaurope they dont have even a clue what was here. They have they version and they think they are right.
By the way thats whay i dont use to post about politics😂

There could have been a time when people had something resembling a good life, the same happened in Venezuela, but it collapsed for a reason, and I doubt people's lives were good when the socialist model collapsed.
There have also been people from several countries risking their lives to escape socialism (East Germany, Cuba and now Venezuela).
By the way, since you are from Eastern Europe, it could be interesting or fun to show your old family members the videos from this ex soviet citizen (Vladimir Jaffe)https://www.youtube.com/user/pp000610 he always looks for leftist people in America and try to debate them in the street and some videos are even funny.
Yes many people left. I dont say that socialism was super good. Just example for sure there was less crime and everyone had a job. The price was also cheap of the food. These are the facts they shared to me.
I think we cant compare eastern europe and cuba. The attitude of the people are very different.
Even i have many russian friends and example they never complain about they gov.
But there are also people who wanna leave. I think it depend on the person.
But i really disagree with the propaganda which is comming from USA or UK.
My personal opinion anyway that even nowdays we just have a illusion that we live in a democracy. But we are even not close to it😉
This is a long and difficult topic by the way. For sure there is some truth in both sides.
