      tfw u build schools, apartments and hospitals that are still standing to this day despite lack of maintenance, have pretty progressive laws for the time, massively improve living standards only for some dumbass on the internet to compare you to the Nazis.

      Look, the PRL had a lot of issues (polish comrades know this damn well), but holy fucking shit man you cannot compare it to German-occupied Poland, where there were Ghettos everywhere and fucking concentration camps (Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, etc.).

      Just like Parenti said, where were the half-starved masses when socialism fell? Where were the countless political prisoners we were told about?

        To add to Parenti’s argument why did things like nutrition, poverty, life expectancy, income inequality, etc. get worse after the Soviet Union fell apart?
