Nobody is saying the USSR was perfect, but all you've brought is just personal anecdote. I've spoken to people that say much the opposite!

I know exactly who thrived during those times. Party members. If you only listen to them, sure, you’re going to get a different story.

Cool story but I've never spoken to a party member, and the historical books I read aren't from party members either.
