Yes, in the real world, some people have a very short and selective memories.

Fortunately statistics are quite clear in proving otherwise.

    In reality, the "revival" wasn't evenly distributed. Lots of people became destitute and exploited in the process, while a small minority of parasites started to enjoy lavish lifestyles built on their backs.

    Yes, that is true and those obscenely rich people shouldn't exist.

    But, for me, anything is better than being at the mercy of a tyrannical regime hell bent on controlling all aspect of your life, turning people against each other and removing them for their opinions.

    The USSR era was the worst thing in the modern history of Europe (yet) and anyone who idealizes it is, at best, scum.
