Always amusing to read what people write about a society they never lived in, basing their opinions on what their governments propaganda told them.
The best paid people in the socialist countries were often worker in heavy industry and miners, the members of the Communist party and state lived modestly.
Even though the whole of the Socialist block was a lot poorer than the West children did not go to school hungry.
Here and in the US, 20 years after the fall of communism capitalism still fails to give a normal life to its citizens.
