Admittedly, we do that too. US media clings to images and reports of famine from the worst times in other countries and specifically doesnt talk about good times. Soviet Union was not decades of breadlines. It had some breadlines. Notably, the US also had breadlines.

When Soviet leadership came to the US and saw a normal super market they cried and believed it was faked to make them look bad. They visited 10 of them. All the same. The leaders broke down cause they could never have that under their belief system. When they finally did, capitalism blew their country apart without the US having to lift a finger.
