More gish gallop nonsense I won't even bother refuting. I posted the paper and the graphs and all you can do is make a bunch of claims that show you have never read the paper, ignore the graphs, and refuse to address the actual point.
Methinks you accuse people of fallacies and accuse me for not reading material that I post, in fact the paper in attachment backs up every claim that I made. (Johnson 1984)
Have you been in eastern block inner cities by any chance? Commie blocks were erected en masse to house rural migrants and you had to wait to lease an apartment, since you can't own it. Stalin era blocks lack kitchens, since workers used communal kitchens. You had to pay for heating and electricity with little pay you had left. (I provided paper comparing incomes, purchasing power, expenses and cost of goods if you recall). Commie blocks were for the workers, academics, low to mid tier officers lived in outer to inner cities depending who you were. The

Because I assumed you knew that all of those government regulations came primarily from Woodrow Wilson or FDR given you're bringing up regulations that emerged because of the creation of the Federal Reserve and the Glass-Steagall Act. Or lest I forget, trying to assert the EPA and associated acts are free market, or claiming the legislation that came about because of writings from literal socialist Upton Sinclair are free market. Maybe you really didn't, I don't know, I guess it's wrong to assume I'm talking to someone with any knowledge of the subject.
You are aware regulations exist in other free market economies than america, right?
You keep thinking that I'm talking from nordic point of view, countries which adopted nordic model, post 90s Japan to prevent another bubble, since they're still reeling from last one Japan adopted
Abenomics EU has whole host categories to regulate trade, safety and fair trade
On top various regulations that individual free market countries set themselves. We'd be all day if I added more examples
It's funny you have to strawman my arguments to claim I'm saying communism was a utopia when I'm more or less judging communism by what existed before and what came after. It's clear by the actual reality that communism was often an improvement (i.e. USSR vs Russian Empire) over what came before and today still has better societies. North Korea does not have the degenerate, disgusting culture that South Korea does for instance.
Stay on topic, don't start comparing societies which are "degenerate" "facist" (If you read material from east Germany when wall was up. Demonization of the enemy was important after
Millions defected causing brain drain, loss of labor then some. I documents about quality of life, dismantling USSR propaganda.
Soviet economy was dysfunctional and collapsed, Gini rating didn't reflect reality proven by defectors, number of papers that I gave to you in good faith.
Putting dissidents against the wall or in labor camps in exchange idyllic "conservative" paradise isn't worth it. Thanks to failure of Stalinism and less spoken Titoism eastern Europe past Poland has high corruption, poverty, inflation and aging structures and destruction of the environment ( eg Chernobyl and Aral Sea)
With all the material and historical records, I can safely say that communism will never work in practice and needs a closed off police state to control the population.

Moreover USSR successfully spread socialism across three generations and beyond as described by high ranking KGB defector Yuri Berzmenov in 1985
This phenomena isn't exclusive to US and USSR. CCP uses same playbook today funding Marxist orgs like BLM and antifa, shipping drugs over the border and destabilizing nations.
Lastly communism and promises of socialism appeal to broke college students, minorities and anyone who feels oppressed by the 1% Bernie supporters are wonderful example of this. It's poison and always has been.
