No. My impressions are based on having lived it before the iron curtain fell.
But prepare for a 25 year old who lives in his mom's garage in rural Indiana to try to debate you on the subject anyway.
He lives in his mother's garage because he can't afford to move out on the pittance he makes at work. It sure wasn't communism that put him there
Nope, in communism he would be dead of starvation or in jail for complaining.
Says the balding neckbeard living in Brexit-land.
Bald, not balding.
You mean the impressions of having lived in a dictatorship which discarded the idea of progressing towards communism? How is that relevant?
See how you didn't even have to ask which country it was? Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships ridden with poverty for the working class and gold plated luxury for the ruling class.
I'm happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism. Oh, and I'm free to leave anytime I want, if I don't like it.
Grade-school level history: I didn't need to ask which country because all of the possible countries were puppet states of a single other country...
There are a total of 0 communist countries throughout history. Your lack of very basic knowledge is starting to make me cringe.
That's irrelevant. If you're happy while I'm driving a nail through your eyes, does that make driving a nail through someone's eyes a good thing? The fact that you are privileged doesn't make a difference.
No, you're not. Your statement is so completely uneducated, I couldn't even guess where to begin dismantling it.
