    First communist-y moment: I remember asking my parents why people use money instead of just working together, and they told me "they tried doing that in Russia and it didn't work because the doctors won't work hard if they weren't being paid". I'm sure they weren't planning on having to defend capitalism before explaining where babies come from from their kid, but what a bad explanation...

      Hilariously, Soviet doctors were amongst the best in the world, just as Cuban ones are now.

        Also, the doctors were still paid! The USSR always used money? Why would they lie to a child!?
