I think in the former socialist societies there was this lack of abundance of consumer goods that annoyed the middle class. I mean yeah you can have have social securities but without having an abundance of goods and snacks ๐ , it's kinda boring. Take for example in China, there is abundance of consumer goods, products and snacks...
Ohh definitely. While there where good reasons for the high focus on heavy industry, the lack of consumer goods was a reason for the fall of the GDR.
Egon Krenz, the last leader of the GDR, has gone on record saying he admires China's model, and that adopting reforms modeled after Deng Xiaoping's would have saved the country.

There's time for a revival yet.
Circuses and peanuts, the people want their entrainment and goodies.
