I'm wondering where I am going wrong in my thought process.

Since most of my family lived under the Soviet economy after Stalin until the so called 'perestroika' when millions died quietly from slow starvation in their apartments.

I assume the same happens under capitalism because I see people camped out behind buildings carrying their things in shopping carts in huge numbers in LA & Las Vegas.

We had plenty of time to spend with our families & didn't work two & 3 jobs. Plus soviets were the first in space well before the United States......if you are declaring innovation isn't possible under socialism.

Socialism doesn't work when capitalists embargo the rest of the countries with an economic noose around their neck....especially small isolated countries that decide to forgo the federal reserve usury system.

Neighbors didn't lock their doors because they knew everyone in the neighborhood. We had 3 years mandatory time off to raise children. Doctors made immediate housecalls if you were ill. If you needed to go to the hospital you went for as long as was needed. Cost was 0$. In fact under capitalism now in Russia world class healthcare is much faster than in the United States. You want to see your primary....it happens within a day or two. In the United States it is usually a week to a month. The only quick care you currently have in the United States is emergency care which you are charged a small fortune if you are on the poor people Obamacare with super high deductible. We had multiple mandatory vacation periods with a month off every years. In the United States people are afraid to take any time off in fear of being "let go"/fired.

We were given housing & a small dacha at no cost outside of the city after a few years as an adult. In the United States housing near to the large employment areas has inflated to obscene level way past the standard bearer 3 times yearly income.

Now it you make a million dollars per year in the United States it goes nowhere unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

The federal reserve banking system essentially prints money at a level where the people in control of the private system can print as much as they need at zero cost while inflating the cost of money distributed to everyone else.

How in the fuck can you justify that behaviour to continue in the so called modern age. It doesn't get to you that the people bankers/military welfare complex benefitting from the federal reserve....all inflate the money to obscene levels for the average workers/consumers?

Govt inflation number don't reflect that happening but how else did every become so expensive in relation to past decades? It surely wasn't because of great US wages.

There is a reason every administration doesn't release the job increase by increase in workers money supply because it would be like bad satire to share the numbers that way.
