In any communist system those at the top always do well. The rest are kept in the country at gunpoint.
Communism? Yeah, the DPRK is such a lovely place to live.

The ones with the worst system lie about the flaws in other systems and deny there are any flaws in their own. They also do not like it when you do your own research Dex must have been going nuts, by that I mean more than his normal crazy. Liars don't fit in well with Religion or Science topics.
By what definition?? The USSR was following the Royals of the EU design rather than the leaders and the people were as close as possible in terms of access to 'goodies', a few rich fuks ruling over people who were kept as poor as possible. (same as the west since about 600AD)
I think there's likely more than a "few" - lets face it, if you have a roof over your head, food on the table, are able to pay your bills and have money in the bank, I would consider that "prosperous". You don't necessarily have to be a millionaire.
I am prosperous because I've improved my situation in life by hard work and educating myself where necessary and have strived to put at least a little "away" for the future.
While not all Canadians are prosperous, most Canadians are I'm thinking.
JMHO
Yes I see that prosperity in the houses and vehicles of my neighbors. I see the line ups at Starbucks and Tim’s every morning . Economic activity is all around us and hard work still allows one to improve their lot in life . An awful lot of my childhood neighbours have become multi millionaires and we grew upon the wrong side of the proverbial tracks .
True - you can "appear" to be prosperous and not be I suppose, but I'll stick by my definition.
So you limit yourself to the fiscal definition.
I'll stick with my definition; that an improved life is a prosperous life.
