In reply to Dave Holt, to indict a society on the grounds that
factory workers are among the best paid, that formal studies
and practical labor are combined and that luxury goods are
scare seems pretty weak. Surely he can do better.

Holt blames all (yes all!) the troubles of the world on the Russians. 
He says the Ruskies are to blame for Nicaragua's Revolution against Somoza,
Chad's civil war,
Angola's Revolution against Portugal (and continuing fight
with South Africa), and El Salvador's civil war
 ....blaming it all  on the Ruskies!!!......well that
kind of simplistic analysis should be dismissed off hand. 
Santa Claus doesn't exist and the
world is a little more complex.
(Although, grant you, certain persons in high office
these days can't seem to grasp that fact.)
