The propaganda in the West is similar and we are brainwashed with neoliberal BS throughout our lives. Of course, we have to have markets but this turbo capitalism is soul destroying. <br />Kaiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195639305785321786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-35193430135698135382019-01-26T18:46:19.091-05:002019-01-26T18:46:19.091-05:00Many Russians miss communism where they didn't...<i>Many Russians miss communism where they didn't have to worry about housing, paying the bills, or finding a job. Now, they are like us and if they get ill, they could lose their homes and find themselves on the street, and their children might suffer.</i><br /><br />Yes. <br /><br />TRIVIA: Most Westerners have been brainwashed to believe that the Soviets erected the Wall between East and West Germany because everyone in East Germany wanted to get out. This is a lie. The truth is that East Germans were working in the West by day, and were returning each night to East Germany, to take advantage of free housing, free medical care, and so on. This continued for 15 years, and it created a “brain drain” for East Germany. Finally the wall was erected to stop it Aug 1961. <br /><br />Like everything else in history, the West distorts the facts to suit its self-righteous purpose. <br /><br />Today’s Western peasants have been brainwashed to consider anything other than poverty and slavery “evil.” <br /><br />Inside the dungeon, straight white male inmates are attacked by other inmates for “white privilege,” “toxic masculinity,” “sexism,” and so on. <br /><br />Meanwhile all the inmates are laughed at by the owners of the dungeon, who watch the show through a peep-hole in the roof.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-92014425090806827322019-01-26T14:18:43.651-05:002019-01-26T14:18:43.651-05:00I was made to read Animal Farm and One Day in the ...I was made to read Animal Farm and One Day in the Life of Ivan.... at school which was intended to put children off communism and it seemed to have worked. I'm not a communist and I believe in mixed economy, but I would love to know how much we were to told about communism was pure propaganda. <br /><br />For one thing, many Russians miss communism where they didn't have to worry about housing, paying the bills, or finding a job. Now, they are like us and if they get ill, they could lose their homes and find themselves on the street, and their children might suffer. <br /><br />Life can be very stressful in very conservative and capitalist countries as the safety net may be weak.
