Yeah, these people are really entitled. Stupid snobs who miss their electricity, warm and clean water and healthy food.
literally every communist-led state ever saw faster electrification, sanitation, and agriculture development than any of their comparable peers (important). Please find me a single solitary example to the contrary. Also, please refrain from comparing Cuba and the USA or Vietnam and Finland like they're running in the same race, the real victories of communism are that it has outpaced any even remotely comparable nation in the same timespan despite sanctions and interference, not that a communist party can magically turn Haiti into Denmark in twenty years.
No, there was one were things went so bad that they had to build a wall to keep people from leaving
Yeah and I'm sure that's the end of the story. There's no additional context to this story. Times and the problems faces by the government on that side of the wall were incredibly simple and there definitely wasn't any collusion on the other side of the wall to try to drive people to leave.
The logical first step to brain drain is definitely to build a wall. those damn commies just didn't understand how to use logic!
Oh my bad. I'm sure the shoot to kill order on the eastern side was in place to keep the propaganda out.
