Under communism, how do we clean our clothes?
- It’s not really efficient for every housing unit to have its own washing machine let alone dryer
- some people can dry clothes on lines but some can’t
- Washing clothes by hand sucks
- Laundromats suck
- Industrialized clothes washing? I have no direct experience with this
And it needs so much water.
To my mind laundry is one of the most intractable issues.
Meat was also for rich people 500 years ago, but the wonders of industrialization led to many previously unattainable goods to become widespread.
Such a nonsense take, chickens and cattle were very widespread, as well as fishing. Inuit famously had a diet of almost entirely meat, though of course it wasn’t healthy and there were many vitamin issues.
This definitely varies from culture to culture, but being Spanish, I can tell you that meat was more often than not a cause for celebration, to the point that the pig slaughter was a community event that took place in the main square of the village. Data for meat consumption over time in the former Russian Empire and the USSR also suggests that meat wasn’t a thing people used to have often, and whose access increased with industrialization.
I don’t even know how you’d begin to measure meat consumption when basically everyone owned chickens and reporting them would be bureaucratically impossible until the modern era
Even modern peasantry often have cattle for milk and chicken eggs all the time.
