I have a friend who grew up in the Soviet Union. She told me about the strictly controlled vacations, schooling, work, etc.
She told me about the times when she was able to see her parents (who worked in different closed cities) and their vacations on the crimean peninsula. They took the train along miles of deserted roads that were used only by party officials and VIPs. Those roads went to dachas for important people the train was for “the people” who were going to pre assigned cabins at resorts that were strictly segregated among the various social classes.
Its kinda funny. She complains that all the things American marxists claim as reasons to support some kind of communism, are the things that suffer most under communism. They support communism in the name of the environment, communism destroys the environment. They support communism in the name of human rights, human rights are nearly non existent under communism. In the all are equal communist societies, social stratification is most pronounced.
