I applaud your reading something many in your age bracket don’t do. I would suggest reading about real world communism. Written by a man born in to a communist family. His family story is in the book ‘Left Illusions’ by David Horowitz. Outside of it’s vastly more important information one paragraph stood out in my mind. Mainly because it effects all of mankind. This is from the chp. titled ‘The Road to Nowhere’ pg. 137 in my hard back edition. ‘These mundane symbols of consumer capitalish revealed the real secret of the era that was now ending, the reason why the Iron Curtian and it’s Berlin Walls were necessary, why the Cold War itself was an inevitable byproduct of socialist rule: in 1989, for two hours’ labor at the mimimum wage, an American worker could obtain, at a corner Sizzler, a feast more opulent, more nutritionally rich and gastronomically diverse than anything avaliable to almost all the citizens of the socialist world (including the elite) at almost any price.
