@yogthos @temochka see the work of Milovan Đilas (*The New Class),* Mervyn Matthews (*Privilege in the Soviet Union*) and many others documenting the ruling class privileges in the USSR.
And their is a continuation : 60% of elites in the Vladimir Putin regime had nomenklatura backgrounds.

@jbgi @temochka buddy, I literally grew up in USSR. I know exactly what life and privileges in USSR were like.

Trying to pretend that inequality there was in any way comparable to capitalism is the height of intellectual dishonesty.

We only need to look at this study showing an unprecedented mortality crisis struck Eastern Europe during the 1990s, causing around 7 million excess deaths after the transition to capitalism to see just how utterly absurd your argument is
