First off. Thanks for the detailed answer. You really care about topic.

Second. I might be entitled, as I'm a capitalist that greatly profits from this sick system. That said, not all capitalist countries treat their vulnerable in bad condition. I don't need to work so I do work voluntarily with people who are either mentally or physically handicapped. And we (no, I'm surely no murican) actually do a lot for those. Could always be way more, but...

So to your point: I didn't really wanted to paint the USSR badly. I'm sure they had it great. Kinda like our GDR (east germany) before we assimilated them, I assume. I would actually prefer such a system again, even though it totally would not be to my benefit. I have ex-ussr and ex-gdr friends and they unisono miss the old times. It wasn't perfect, but better than today's shitholes.

Long story short. You're right, I stand corrected and educated.
