All I can say is that I'm sorry your life sucked under that particular regime.
Not all communist regimes are the same, not even when you are talking about successions within the same country. Wen Jiabao, Xi Jinping, Jiang Zemin, Deng Xiaoping all have different strengths, different weaknesses, different focuses.
Having travelled to many parts of China, having worked there, and knowing people from Mainland China for many years, tells me that the Chinese gov has been hugely beneficial to its people in general.
