It depends on the timeframe, in the 1980s, there were no bread lines because food was plentiful.
During the main timeframe where there were bread lines, the US had soup lines.
Life under the Soviets was a marked improvement for the Russian people compared to life under the Tsars (not so much for the satellite states of the Soviet Union, those people were often actively harmed by being part of the union.)
SNAP is america’s invisible breadline
We get soup, we win!
American media and government would never represent soup lines as a systematic failure, instead of poverty being deserved.
How easily the narrative emerges that the same situation in one case reflects repression and in the other generosity.
