No, it is a bit more complex. Within the Warsaw Pact, there were essentially two levels of utopia: "socialist" and "communist". "Socialist" countries (Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia) allowed limited private ownership of land and businesses (private businesses could not employ more than 50 people). IN "communist" countries (East Germany, USSR), no private ownership was allowed at all. Yes, crooks ruled in both systems. But everyday life was much easier in "socialism" I should know - I grew up there.
