Disliked{quote} I totally disagree with you. If all this free stuff would've worked, Soviet Union would've not fallen apart. It was not sustainable economy. You didn't see homeless people because they were hid from public eye to show that everything is so flowery in Soviet Union. You never heard about domestic violence, you never heard about raping, you never heard about narcomania etc because people of Soviet Union do not do this kind of things. Right? But it was all there, no one dared to talk about it because of NKVD or KGB. I could stay talk about it....Ignored
Not many here can imagine lack of food and the need to go at 3 am to keep your spot in the queue line for milk.what happiness was when we catch some egs or my mom after hours in the line succeed to buy some meat. when we was buying bread we had ration /day/ family member ,and we used to buy food with the ID. seller noted in the book after you bought and till next day you say bye bye to bread,when i remember now i laugh but damn
to mention about ONE SINGLE tv post with very strict program OFF at 23:00:00 where all you can watch all day long was 90% propaganda? one damn tv post and now i have 200 and never watch them all our dictator was executed at revolution under genocide accusation,but was a weird thing they did that so fast.
looking at Europe on that times it was clear the iron curtain had to fall in all those countries so we really didnt needed any revolution and all the people who died there. Now we have democracy shit,we are full time consumers,entire old economy structure (good or bad) was unstructured ,all old industry factories was demolished down everything.
Now even in democracy the black shaddows of communism are still there in the gov chairs and between old guys from parliament. they let other countries came and take any resources they want. they sell everything and let us be addicted on everything from outside, ''powerfull'' countries who always knew to take what they need just have all doors open.
by the way this was what we had on that times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitate
