    a few eggs a week was lucky

    Unlike in pre-revolutionary China where broad popular prosperity meant an abundance of food, clothing and luxuries for everyone.

    The Chinese people were happy and content until one day Mao flipped the communism switch and everybody started to kill their landlords for no apparent reason.

      This is the same thing as people who post a picture with an upper-class woman in a miniskirt and say that Iran under the Shah was a paradise until the evil Islamists took over and turned the country into a backwards theocracy where women have no rights.

        The same kind of nostalgia for the lost luxury of the elite exists for tsarist Russia and Batista's Cuba.

          TIL Cuba had some of the best hotels and casinos in the world, until Castro's communist revolution destroyed them.
