    It’s called city planning. I don’t know where this is but the commie blocks where I was born were within walking distance of shops, cafes, schools, had cheap central heating, all had children’s parks and green areas between buildings, and public transport to the city center. All at dirt cheap prices since they were not built for profit, and could only be owned by people living in them or rented from the state.

      People in the west never hear anything positive about communism, so…

      Everyone knows what their news talk about. A few people read books, but not many.

      I would not want to live under communism, but it certainly is portrayed as more crazy than it actually is.

      There are zero tv shows about communist people doing normal things in life. Its pretty much a banned topic that people go out and party, watch movies, eat pizza… Same as in the west. We are not very different.

      And if you travel, you see this. Its just people. But yes, the leaders are insane. In every major nation.
