So, I’m in high school and I’ve got to make a simple essay contextualizing on the USSR for our reading of “Animal Farm” by Orwell. Are there any good articles, sites, etc. which I can use? (I apologize if this has been asked before or if there’s a megathread or something)
I don’t have my sources at hand right now, and do not have the time to dig them up right now, but one thing that you can try to investigate is how the USSR in particular and planned economies in general provide/provided guaranteed housing and universal healthcare (i.e. unlike capitalist societies, they did not force people to live and die on the streets and did not deny people the healthcare that they needed).
