I didn't say it was. However, many practices descended from the communist
era. Actually this is the case today in Russia. In many respect Russia
resembles more a communist country than a non-communist one. You don't have
to go to Vietnam to drink cheap beer. For instance in Spain a can of beer
typically costs less than 30 cents in a super marcado.
