              Sure. Blackshirts and Reds (specifically the chapters for "the free market goes east) for the devastation and death brought from the destruction and privatization of social services, as well as the immense social benefits. Here are the stats on economic growth:

        Yes, those are definitely the best places to live. Especially compared to ugly capitalists states such as luxembourg or switzerland.

            So you would be happier getting abused by authoritarian regimes in North Korea, for example? Weird flex but okay.
