Someone living off $220 is usually self-sufficient or trading within a small community. I don't know how "Communism" was though.
The market is efficient in part due to specialisation. Ironically, self-sufficient peasants living in a village are likely very conservative, even if also very poor.
It's a trick question for a "Socialist" to name an achievement, because no society is ever good enough for them to claim it as truly "socialist".
I like how Nguyen highlights how there's still a ruling class in every "Socialist" society, and that ruling class is *rich*.
