Fact check: Why is communism so sexy?

1. Summary of the results

The question's framing is overly simplistic and provocative. However, there is actual research regarding sexuality under communist regimes. Specifically, a study found that women in East Germany reported higher rates of sexual satisfaction (80%) compared to their West German counterparts (63%) ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The data suggests that this increased sexual satisfaction was likely tied to specific socialist policies rather than communism as an ideology. These included:

• Gender equality initiatives
• Social security programs
• Professional opportunities for women

All of these factors contributed to women's overall wellbeing and, by extension, their sexual satisfaction ^[1].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains several problematic elements:

• It trivializes complex historical and political systems by reducing them to sexual appeal
• It ignores the many documented human rights violations and economic hardships under communist regimes
• It fails to distinguish between different types of socialist policies and full communist systems

The study cited focuses specifically on East Germany and certain social policies, rather than communism as a whole ^[1]. Various groups might benefit from promoting or demonizing communist/socialist policies:

• Left-wing political groups might use such studies to advocate for specific social policies
• Right-wing groups might focus on other aspects to oppose similar policies
• Academic researchers benefit from continued funding for such comparative studies
