I don't know what it's like to live under communism, but I do know what it's like to live under capitalism and it's grip tightens more and more with every passing year.

I don't think anyone knows what it's like, was there any communist country which wasn't also both a dictatorship and poor?

Pretty hard seeing the good and bad of communism when it's always alongside the two worse things that can happen to a country.

P.S. Wait, actually not the two worse things... there's also war, and that applies to most of them too.
