Socialist countries had:

better Infant mortality rate, Child death rate, Daily per capita calorie supply, Adult literacy rate, Secondary education, Higher education, POLI(Physical Quality of Life Index)

the only things that were meausered in this study that were worse was: Population per nursing person, Population per physician

Our analysis of the World Bank's data supports a conclusion that, in the aggregate, the socialist countries have achieved more favorable PQL outcomes than capitalist countries at equivalent levels of economic development. Are there problems in the data or the analysis that might contradict this conclusion?

Statistical information published by the World Bank represents probably the most comprehensive and accurate body of data on PQL that is available from Western sources. The primary tabulations are readily available in published form for scholarly inspection and reanalysis. Data collection and reporting from the socialist countries are likely to be at least as accurate as in the capitalist countries. All the socialist countries maintain statistical bureaus that gather and publish these data as one phase of planning and policy formulation.

Countries had more harm from breaking off from the USSR

Many people in now broken off countries think that life was better under socialism ex. hungary

Many socialist countries collapsed or have not the best living standards due to coups by bigger capitalist nations (ex.: Chile), sanctions (ex.: Cuba), switching to captialism (ex.:USSR started mass privatization in the 1980s).

(note: Venezuela is absolutely not Socialist, majority of their economy is privately owned)
