and I must say... I have lived in a communist state, and from what I remember and from what my parents tell me, it wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
yeah, that's really a problem... people almost always illustrate communism as a bad thing, so people who don't know better always take distance from the idea.
A small example, my history teacher told my class the following:
'you probably can't imagine this, but there are actually people in states that were communistic but that now are capitalistic who want the previous system back.'
his tone was like; 'wow, some people actually think communism has possitive aspects!?'
When he told that to our class I though: what the fuck, of course they do! now there's like 30% of people who don't have work, people are dying poor because of that..! Cummunism had some bad stuff, but they made sure everyone had work and could affort a living!
something that somehow troubles me, is that I'm pretty much the only one on my school (500 people or something) who thinks like that...
ugh, but it's a fucking elite school...dumb people... don't know what's good for them...
