    We all (I guess) once imagined our lives in Yahweh's Theocratic Paradise. Quite possibly our visions often were quite different from that of others. In another thread I've attempted to shed some light on the North Korean Paradise of the Kim family, which because it is a common (shared) experience may be seen by ordinary north Koreans as "normal." And, many Budhhists may be putting their hopes in the western paradise of the Amitabha Buddha. The Revelation Paradise of Revelation ch. 21/22 is so similar to the Amitabha's Western Paradise that it is easy to imagine the author of Revelation plagiarising it.

    In the west some of us have good lives that could be called paradisaical, though these days, the way some are forced to live is not paradisaical.

    btw, Japan has a very large Communist Party, between 300,000 and 400,000 members

    And then in the Capitalist paradise of the USA, some live like this:

    But what led me to this medititation on life in Paradise, was re-discovering a Youtube post on life in the Socialist Paradise that is now almost forgotten, though on some web-sites one can find nostaligic memories of that life. Hope you find this video informative:

    This video purports to show the lives of women in the Soviet version of a workers paradise in 1961. It seems to be privately produced, so its hard to make any comment on its veracity.
