@SeriousNick @yogthos I'm a communist living in a post-soviet country for 6 years now. After travelling to many cities, and meeting all kinds of citizens, my conclusion: The USSR was the best thing that happened to this place. Rates of unemployment, poverty, illness, infant mortality, life quality, social services and level of education all plummeted and are only worsening as capitalism progresses.
Pretty instructive to see what people living in post-soviet countries have to say
Or maybe your dad is just a liar Nick.
You're obviously going to believe whatever you want to believe. All I can tell you is that I lived in USSR and I was happy there, and plenty of other people were too as the polls I linked above clearly show. There are always going to be people who are unhappy everywhere, what matters is that the system works for the majority.
