You still haven't explained what entailed in being "elite" in USSR. Tell me, in what ways were their lives significantly more comfortable than those of the average citizen. My family was pretty average, we had our own apartment and a dacha. We had access to all the same services like healthcare, transit, and education. What did these elites have that we didn't have?

Nice that your family was part of the urban crownies of the vanguard party. Ask some people in Siberia about their cushy apartment and nice dacha...

What was it that you said about majority of people living in urban centers, I love how flexible your logic is to fit your argument. Vast majority of people had access to these things, dacha coops were pretty common. You know absolutely nothing about my country, but feel qualified to debate it regardless being the clown that you are.

Don't mix up what I said about the USSR Vs. what I said about China. Those two are not comparable at all.

Thing can in fact be comparable while also being different. However, it's important to highlight that you countered your own argument in the other thread. This just comes back to you lacking any intellectual integrity. You don't have a consistent position, you just argue to be right.

I am starting to think you don't even understand my argument. Ideologically blind-sighted it seems.

You don't actually have any coherent argument and we both know it. When you get called out on your bullshit you just slink away.
