The problem I see is that work is long, works is hard, the money sucks ass, and you can afford less and less for your money every year. You cannot even increase the rent because the market sucks ass. Your savings account has an interest of 0,whatever. All the millionaires left for Dubai. If you reach a certain threshold in wealth, there is no point in remaining the resident of most places in the contemporary West.
But the post war prosperity in the West is seen as a psy-op against the Communist nations. The problem is the Bolshevik system was decrepit and notoriously inefficient in providing basic necessities for the people. And this is why the experiment failed and all the countries either became liberal democracies or authoritarian regimes with a market economy. Communist parties remained only in China and Vietnam. North Korea also introduces elements of free market.
Bolshevik style revolutions and regimes are thing of the past. Ain’t nobody got time for that. But in the West, the neoliberal system no longer makes people prosperous. It is not so much because the threat of the Communists has waned, many young people demand socialist policies, they want the gibs. It is a feature of the neoliberal system to exploit the masses in Amazon warehouse.
