That's not 100% true you know. The USSR had
considerable very small-scale private enterprise, on
the level of someone starting up a clothes-mending
service where he and his wife fix people's pants for
money. About half of agricultural produce during
Brezhnev was grown on private plots in the country,
much of which was then taken to the cities and sold on
the street for profit.
