== Pros and Cons ==
Ok. I'll admit that COmmunism is not perfect, yet there are some pros,
1) cheap public services, Soviet Trains were much more effective and cheaper than American or European
2) Full employment
3) Brilliant education, I went to a cuban school, they have 100% literacy rate and are brilliant if you want to do medicine
