In what communist country was housing a problem?

This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries

It's the final refuge for tankies. That and the old "social democracy only works by exploiting the global south" canard.

“social democracy only works by exploiting the global south” canard.

I'm sure there were extra houses after all those people that starved to death.

In Communist countries people starve to death because of famine, in Capitalist countries people also strave to death because of famine while still starving to death after famines are over because they cant afford groceries.
