E. In your opinion, was the fall of the Soviet Union a good thing or bad thing

Answer 1

a) The man in the front of the line is Karl Marx (the one above the clouds)

b) A funeral is happening below the clouds.

c) The men in the clouds do not feel some sort of connection of what is happening on the ground. This is because Karl Marx devised a theory of communism, but didn't execute it and see its real consequences.

d) Communism is only a paradise for those at the top of the pyramid (for example: communist officials or military generals, etc....).

e) The fall of the Soviet Union was a good thing. This was because during the Soviet Union Era, there were rampent corruption that plagued the country and its citizens. The citizens were trapped into a slave-like hierarchy, and couldn't resist the forces. Hence, the fall of the soviet union allowed the people living there to experience what "true" paradise is: capitalism.
