No, we're still a lot better off than anyone in the USSR was. A number of defectors have written books you might want to familiarize yourself with. I recently read _The "Liberators"_, by Victor Suvorov; I recommend it.
This is clearly not a problem with capitalism. Do you think that Communist countries are somehow less wasteful? Try reading “The Liberators” by Viktor Suvorov. The first chapter is pretty instructive. https://archive.org/details/ViktorSuvorovTheLiberatorsMyLife... Also, supermarkets do not spray bleach in their trash.
…rampant mismanagement that is always prevalent in Communist countries. People should read the books written by people who defected from the Soviet Union to get an idea of just how bad it can get. “The Liberators: my life in the Soviet Army” by Viktor Suvorov is a good one. And it can be read online: <https://archive.org/details/liberatorsmylife0000suvo>
The original idea of nudging a vote this way was brought to my attention in a book by Viktor Suvorov (it was either Aquarium or The Liberators). Some communist asshole wanted his nephew or something hired for some government position. He made the mistake of doing a vote by asking "all in favor?" because no-one raised their hands. What Suvorov…
维克托·苏沃洛夫写的《解放者》<https://archive.org/details/ViktorSuvorovTheLiberatorsMyLife...> 我真希望这本能成为必读书目。
"The Liberators" by Viktor Suvorov <https://archive.org/details/ViktorSuvorovTheLiberatorsMyLife...> I wish this one was required reading.
不，我们的处境仍然比苏联那会儿的任何人都强得多。不少叛逃者都写过书，你可以去了解一下。我最近读了维克托·苏沃洛夫写的《“解放者”》；很推荐。

这显然不是资本主义的问题。你难道以为共产主义国家浪费就少了吗？去读读维克托·苏沃洛夫的《解放者》吧。第一章就非常发人深省。https://archive.org/details/ViktorSuvorovTheLiberatorsMyLife... 另外，超市才不会往垃圾桶里喷漂白水。

……在共产主义国家向来普遍存在的猖獗乱象与管理混乱。大家应该读读那些从苏联叛逃出来的人写的书，好知道情况到底能糟糕到什么程度。维克托·苏沃洛夫的《解放者：我在苏联军队的日子》就是本好书。网上就能读到：<https://archive.org/details/liberatorsmylife0000suvo>

最初让我注意到用这种方式操纵投票的，是维克托·苏沃洛夫的一本书（要么是《水族馆》，要么是《解放者》）。某个混账共产党干部想给自己的侄子之类的人在政府里谋个职位。他当时犯了个错误，表决时问的是“赞成的请举手？”，结果一个人都没举手。而苏沃洛夫……
