There are different kinds of socialism, like there are different kinds of capitalism.

The author lived in the most extreme one and his writings show that.

I can tell you that from my personal experience that the time after the fall of communism and before the agents of capitalism gained power in society was the most free time in my life.

So, the only way this could possibly be true, as someone who has lived through the fall of communism, is if you are an oligarch or in an oligarch family who had first access to the resources of the state and got rich by getting ownership rights to it. Oh, sorry, the other alternative is that you were part of the mafia that took over control of a lot of where the police couldn't.

Not all post-communist countries had rapid privatizations. I was born in a lower class workers family in Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia.
