The workers paradise was not so much a paradise.
Dont tell Kiron tho. He thinks the works technology was largely developed by Russia and all the deaths from poverty occur in capitalist countries.
Oh yes, I totally think STALINIST countries that betrayed the Socialist ideal by turning Socialism into a conservative police state that rewound all the social and political gains of the proletarian revolution is totally some perfect utopia

Also great to know you seem to think the third world doesn't exist or that Western countries didn't treat their workers as little more than cattle in the 19th and early-mid 20th century.
If anything, it was the threat of Socialist revolution in the west that actually gave us workers rights and social services. Imagine in the US how bad things would have gotten if the New Deal wasn't put through, a Communist revolution in at least the South West would have been inevitable (and small scale socialist uprisings were breaking out all over the working class south in the US)
Though I'm assuming you have no problem with Union workers, IWW activists and others being lynched and murdered by the thousands in the US by Government and business supported mass murdering Fascist paramilitaries like the American Protective League.
Again, great to see you Maria just resort to more fallacies. The Dunning Kruger effect is strong in you.
