They're not "celebrating" it, unless you seriously think the NY Times have suddenly decided communism on any shape or form is great. They are just not pretending that no joy was possible, or that there were no positive aspects at all, and not insisting on ignoring the few positive aspects. E.g. it is a matter of fact that a lot of legislation relating to women's rights have been rolled back in many of these countries for example. And your statement that sex was one of very few available entertainment options would make sense as an explanation if we can see this same outcome in e.g. third world countries compared to developed countries. It would be interesting to see if that is the case. Maybe you're right that it is simply due to lack of alternative entertainment. > It was difficult to get basic hygiene products (tampons, toilet paper). And nobody is saying otherwise - this is entirely irrelevant to the article. |

And please educate me what women's rights post-communist goverments took away.
