...and the parts they did rebuild, turned out to be so appealing that the East Germans had to build a wall to stop their own people from fleeing over there to escape from their socialist "paradise".
As for the Russian communist system not working the way the yanks liked, I would say it didn't work the way most people liked. It was a one party dictatorship which brooked no dissent and sent millions of innocent people to their deaths in labour camps. I know that many leftwingers were apologists for the Soviet system, but most of them have seen the error of their ways now. Of course, I realise that you're still living in your own version of the 1930's class struggle, so I suppose you've some catching up to do.
