    How much of a breakdown do you think the average liberal would have if they knew about Soviet concepts like the creche system that allowed women to attend university full time comfortably while raising a child, or how hard the HDI and life expectancy collapsed in regions like Poland and Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed.

    Poland’s HDI still hasn’t recovered.
