it was so-so.
quality of life didn't differ that much, except for government officials. generally it was overwhelmingly average. Not bad but not luxurious.

>>2864727
Probably extremely different in the many republics there were. The life of someone from Tannu Tuva was radically different from a russian.
But pretty much a daily life for a low-class russian worker (inb4 there were no classes in the USSR)nwas

>ywn never have a qt commie waifu to come home to after a long day at the factory
Why should I live just to sell myself to the market?
>>
>>2865320
Aw man... I'm a Russian-American. This is silly, but it makes me think of my childhood too. Not that I have any cool stories or anything... I was just 6 when I left Russia.

Well, it's better than selling yourself to the "glorious people's blablabla" (which in reality is ruled by a small elite, just like pretty much all societies everywhere). As for girls, why not get a nice capitalist waifu?
>>
>>2865470
The state capitalist USSR may not have been ideal but it seems allot comfier than modern America. At least in the USSR I'd be supposedly working towards the betterment of my country than the betterment of someone's bank account. Also why would I want a waifu that isn't class conscious and is just a commodity driven wage slave?

Probably not as bad as 1990s North Korea during the Arduous March.

>>save money to travel
you could get resort for free
one of the union's functions is to distribute resort travel tickets -- a number of them were given for free
it was mostly black sea resorts -- current day ukraine, southern russia, caucasus
>>2865452
mostly likely you would come to an empty house because your wife would be working even longer hours
in the cities there were virtually no housewives

>>2866535
Better for her to be working than fucking the postman or becoming "depressed" and getting strung out on prescription drugs during the day.
>>
>>2865605
You can work for the betterment of your country if you live in the US. Whether you think your country is worth working for is a different matter entirely. It seems to me like you don't really like it that much.
>>
>>2866535
I think it's to travel to different E block countries, i know my grandparents loved going to Czechoslovakia
>>
>>2866594
I no longer think the country stands for the values it was founded upon and once stood for. I think that's something both the left and right outside the status quo can agree on.
