What does it say about families losing their sustenance? I am intentional in my phrasing. I care about people, not "jobs".

  It shows that you have never lived in soviet union and happily eat communist fairy tales. Soviet Workers were exploited and underpaid by state, there was no private property and almost no private sector. Soviet Union employed highly educated PhD rocket scientists and paid everyone minimum wage, because there was no alternative. Literally every scientist family had to grow their own potatoes and veggies at home/dachas in order to survive. Can you imagine Harvard dean growing potatoes just to survive in cold winter months? Cars were not available, you had to wait for 7 years to be allocated a slot to purchase a vehicle. Almost no selection of consumer products, everything was DIY, because the only good thing Soviet State was capable of - is building tanks and rockets (that are currently being destroyed by Ukraine Armed Forces)

    My parents both grew up in the Soviet Union. Of course there was private property haha. Individuals, mostly farmers, could even own land! Your comment is a laundry list of fun talking points, but I couldn't care less. This debate concerns families having reliable material sustenance.

      you should move back to soviet union if you like it so much. Get a real taste of communism. "Capitalist West is bad, communism good" (C)
