The answer is no. USSR had jobs for everyone, and one actually could not be not working. I don't think homelessness existed, but conditions for some may have been comparable to US prisons -g/ng- State sanctioned murder is another issue, and, as you know, that was prevalent in USSR and in Europe at the time. But time and standards change, and what was a norm then is not a norm now. Death penalty is barbaric trade and state sanctioned murder. That was abolished in Europe.

US is very unique when it comes to the country's cruelty to it's own population, ones not the best and the brightest, but ones sick and unemployed. However, it always was that way. When it's bad, it's really bad? Really shameful for a rich nation. Why help kids in Africa? Plenty are starving here. Or, is it because we can't really acknowledge what is actually happening? The picture from labor participation data is clear - ones who used to get unemployment check currently get paid zero.
