    I found this list of home ownership rate in the EU and EU-associated countries. If you order the list from most to least home ownership, the top 13 countries for home ownership are all former AES states. Even from beyond the grave, a socialist economy is improving life for the peoples of the post-collapse statelets.

      Its also really surprising to me that western europe, especially germany, being a front line of the cold war, doesn’t have higher home-ownership rates. These are very rich imperial-core countries, which had huge infusions of resources from the US to raise standards of living after WW2 and provide a more appealing “alternative to communism”. Yet home-ownership is still pretty low in a lot of these welfare states.

        Very rich global powers = exploited working class. Simple as that. German houses are very expensive to buy and most regular Germans have to save a lifetime to buy.
