Western Germany regions are still paying to the east one "solidarity tax" to help with the post socialist past underdevelopment. Is it also illusion?
The illusion is that transition to capitalism actually improved the lives of the majority.
Nah, eastern germany regions stay exactly where they were - underdeveloped. Even after more than 20 years, population of the east moves to west Germany causing economic havoc to those regions. On paper you can claim almost everything
the fantasy land you inhabit sounds fascinating
Not more utopian than your beloved USSR
one of us actually lived in USSR, but do tell me what it was really like
Yes, one part in the soviet Ukraine, second part in socialist Poland. Which party of my family missed the best of communism? [FULL IRONY MODE]
Do tell what horrors your family lived through. I bet your family was subjected to terrible things like free education, housing, healthcare, and guaranteed retirement. Must've been absolutely terrible for them.
Free Healthcare as long as you manage to survive the queues and not to die in between. Same with everything. Good propaganda bloke, people kept waiting for own flat 30 years and even after that you didn't get it without connections. My parents weren't in the party, the all bought the flat in that bad capitalism.
Not mentioning my father beaten down by prison guards because taking part in students protests. So called "path of health"
lmfao of course your family were anticommunist scumbags
Whole country was anticommunist scumbags? 68, 80, 82? People were protesting because high prices of groceries, basic products, lack of flats, no work opportunities for educated people. You have no slightest idea what you're saying. My father and mother were protesting as students, but my father's father was in the party, director of the cheese factory and even that fact didn't protect my father. You're really commie scumbag for advocating violence for the protesting people. Allegedly protesting and human rights were guaranteed in those communist countries constitutions
Pretty much every poll shows that majority of people were perfectly fine living in USSR, and polls show that majorities of people who lived through the collapse agree that life was better during Soviet times. But there will always be people like your family. People like your father were a cancer destroying the society.
Polls signed by USSR officials. Yes. you're laughable. Like 100% support like in North Korea otherwise gulag
If you call the majority of the country cancer, it's a clear sign you're commie scumbag.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Poland in 1979 - 81. Whole country, students, workers, artisans were protesting against just lack of basic goods, cheap flats and no job opportunities and you call it "cancer". You summed up your political movement well.
Plenty of polls were done after USSR fell and scumbags who took power tried to prove how terrible it was. The majority of the USSR never shared your sick views. Meanwhile, it's absolutely hilarious how you pretend your capitalist paradise has no repression while UK jails people for tweets and French police brutally assaults protesters every single day. And of course, Poland is going back to its fascist roots now that your ilk is in charge. You deserve everything that's coming to you.
