      For those living in Europe please add: the spanish flu pandemic so “a plague”, the expansion of communism, post war reconstruction (twice).

          Yup, I know what I’m talking about, unfortunately for me I’ve been “blessed” of being born in comunism. Can you say the same thing about yourself?

                Just wondering if you’d bring any more argument to the discussion. Maybe some insight for us laypeople?

                  Arguments that comunism was bad? The internet is gushing with info (videos, testimonies, history, you name it) you just have to look at it and consider it.

                  Convincing somebody over the internet? You don’t want to see any other opinion, you just want to pick an argument with me to test your “revolutionary claws” against the “bourgeois” and/or the “imperialist pigs”!

                  I don’t know what you’ve been through to embrace these ideas and I don’t care. I’ve seen my grandparents believing like you that “the grass is greener” - they got wiser through reality checks. I’ve seen my parents live in the “Age of Gold” and being disappointed that their whole youth work was in vain, I’ve experienced some goodies on my own.

                  And everbody reached the conclusion that: “In capitalism the man exploits the man, in comunism it’s the other way around!”

                    Well in that case my daddy was Joseph Stalin’s gardener.

                    Since all claims on the internet are true, obviously my arguments are now just as strong as yours.

          Bolshevik Communism was the second worst thing to happen to the working class in the 20th century. Second only to the rise of corporate Capitalism. Its failure crippled any other working class revolution for the 30 plus years.

      They got a pandemic too. The “Spanish” flu hit right after ww1. AND they had their own antimaskers.

      Don’t forget the Spanish Flu (which hit 90s babies especially hard, since it was more lethal for younger people).
