Dogshit healthcare being decades behind that in the west/
free education to the highest level
Education was dogshit lacking the basic necessities, in building falling apart.
guaranteed job
Most jobs were completely unnecessary. They provided nothing of value.
heavily subsidized foodstuffs
Rationed. Not subsidized. You couldn’t just go and buy a fucking bread, or a bar of chocolate, or sugar, or flour, or a washing machine, or TV or a car. Your money was almost worthless. Food stamps were worth more than the money you paid for the food. If you manage to be super lucky and get permit to buy a new car, you could resell it immediately for 2x or even 3x of nominal price. and it wasn’t a good car, it was this piece of shit.
It’s actually funny that this ‘wonderful’ system couldn’t design their own car, and had to resort into buying a design license for utterly outdated modified fiat 500 from filthy capitalist Italy.
0% inflation over a span of 40 years
FUCKING LIES. Check the black market dollar value to see the actual scale of inflation that was happening.
I literally searched and found the data to prove you wrong:
THIS is life expectancy of Poland, since 50s. This is life expectancy in America for the same period.
Throughout almost the entire period America had better life expectancy than Communist Poland. You can even see the upward trend after 1990 in PL once capitalism got introduced and medicine started to catch up with the West.
Cuba, CUBA, has higher life expectancy expectancy than the US
WTF are you talking about, they’re the same, with Cuba being horribly lower in 50s and 60s
You’re literally bullshitting
No you, are.
USSR at the time had the highest number of doctors per capita on earth.
But they couldn’t build sophisticated medical equipment in sufficient numbers. It’s the same story as with cars. The economy was disfunctional as fuck. And poland cooked the books about employment and inflation hard, USSR probably did too.
I’m not going to engage in debate with someone who quotes fake data like “0% inflation” and such. You bought into a cult of lies and deception
