Freedom from Want?

In every communist country, compare the standard of living of the peasants before the revolution to ten years after. Prior to the Bolshevik revolution 60% of the factory workers were homeless peasants -- sleeping under their work benches (with their families). Today there is no homeless in Russia. Just try and find a photo of a single homeless camp in Russia on the internet. There are plenty of dash cams, but no homeless camps anywhere. Which system is best? The system that lets people die in the streets, or the system where everybody has a home?

Prior to the Cuban Revolution over 90% of the peasant population was illiterate. Today, Cuba has a higher literacy rate that the USA.Prior to the cuban revolution there was no medical care for the peasants. Today Cuba has better pre-natal care and a higher rate of infant survival of premature babies than the USA.
