None of the historically available communist countries would be my choice of living. In the same way, I would not be eager to live in any of the historical early pure capitalist countries, unless I am sure I would belong to the top 1-5% percent.
Good capitalism implementation borrowed quite a bit from communism/socialism, to make those systems bearable for an average citizen.
Given that capitalism exists at least a hundred-year longer, I suppose there's still possibility for a nice implementation of communism to come. It took capitalism at least 150 years to get to the somewhat liveable level.
I'd still rather live in a Star Trek like communist utopia/dystopia than in an Elysium like capitalist utopia/dystopia.
- ravel-bar-foo 4y agoThat's kind of sad, considering our parents all survived the 2nd half of the 20th century, and they probably weren't in the top 1-5%. I would be quite happy living in Western Europe or the US during the 2nd half of the 20th century. I think one's chances of living a brutishly short life would have been less than 5%.
