I just saw this here on SN the other day: #716939
People see history through rose colored glasses and thanks to propaganda actually think that life was great under communism.
No it was not. But you have to accept that not everything was bad. Hospital and doctors like mentioned here was better for the working class. Because you had the same for all people and doctor study was free. But it got worse because the doctors left the east to work (make money) in the west. It was a brain drain. Getting free education in the east and go back to west to earn money. This is also a reason why the wall was built.
