Has anyone here ever lived in a communist country?

[New Tolerance]

Anyone?

I've got a few questions.

[New Tolerance]

Or the countries that has been labelled as "communist" anyways.

[FistFullOfSteel]

we have a youth communist party in sweden,,,

[uth1984]

I dont think that counts, Hugo. I lived when I was very young in Tito's yougoslavia. Also, my father lived in east Berlin. He said it sucked.

[FistFullOfSteel]

sry then...

It's funny you say that. I've heard that the majority of East Germans would prefer a return to the old days. Not saying I agree with them, just think thats interesting. A lot of East Germans who are starving and homeless now seem to nostalgic now, wonder why?

[New Tolerance]

Well, the thing is that when the average people hear about communist countries, they always think that the government is extremely oppressive. I've lived in China for 10 years and didn't really feel oppressed at all. I'm just wondering if others feel that their communist governments were oppressing them.

Where did you hear this? As far as I can tell, all of Germany is doing better than ever.

I have heard the opposite actually, since Germany introduced the Euro to their country the unemployment rate has gone up and the right wing parties as well.. Things like food and stuff like that has become much more expensive.. At least that is what the tourists have told me when they have come to my shop.

(love talking to tourists to hear their views and opinions)

Keep in mind that tourists usually travel only to certain places within a country, so everything there is usually far more expensive (ever been to Banff?).

Why not ? :unsure:

[Indysocialist]

They're even admitting it on the History Channel that East Germans are missing the old days of the Communist bloc. I even saw a bit that showed old women in front of the Kremlin holding up signs of Stalin calling for a return to "the good ol' days."

[Comrade Ceausescu]

hopefully it'll happen.

Nicaragua;
It got too hairy , the CONTRAS were blowing up every thing, not many supplies of anything and lots of companjeros dieing....

[Wolfie]

Im Zimbabwean, living in London, when Mugabe came to power he preached communism, now though his regime apperars to be more facist than even slightly left-wing.

[Dyst]

There are several miniature communist establishments in Oslo, where you can live and hang out for free and where you get free food and stuff. I love this town.
Two examples:

www.sosialisme.no

Wow, Keiza. That is sweet and something I never new.

Sometimes I&#39;d like to declare a New Communist Republic on a small rock off the coast...

Utopianism gets us nowhere, comrades :)

My dad was born in Czechoslovakia during the communist block. he fled to canada in 1968, mainly because it was getting very dangerous and strange, what with tanks in the streets, he saw some of his friends get killed. There was a curfew in place at the time, and he and his friends were standing outside, smoking near curfew (it was almost dark outside). The soldiers who enforced curfew were a litte on edge because disgruntled citizens had been making home made explosives and such. There were troops in a jeep doing rounds making people go home for curfew, and they came upon my father and his two friends smoking, and one of my Dad&#39;s friends flicked a ciggerette in the direction of the jeep. The light from the lit end must&#39;ve scared the soldier into thinking that it was a bomb (the lit part of the ciggerette must have resembled a fuse) and the soldier opened fire on my dad and his friends. My dad was hit in his chin, the friend next to him in the chest, and next to him in the head. Killing his two friends. Shortly after that he fled on a bus, barely making it out, and he lived in prague for a while waiting for his plane ride to canada. I&#39;m sure in other places, it wasn&#39;t so dangerous and opressive, but I don&#39;t really know.

I had an interesting conversation with a woman who was alive during the Russian Revolution. I told her I was a communist, without knowing she was actually former Russian royalty. :ph34r:

But she did admit that conditions improved in Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. It was still an akward situation.

without the idea of utopia, there would be no communism for marx..... :rolleyes:

Just going back to the comments about East Germans wanting to go back to the old days. I&#39;d say that could be right. I was in Russia about two months ago, and I heard the word &#39;ranshe&#39; (russian for &#39;earlier&#39;) a lot. In Russia, however, they are struggling with the old wages, but they&#39;re paying Western prices for basic goods, so it&#39;s understandable why they feel that way.

Red Flag: you get your commie republic and ill live there, probably along with most of the people on che-lives, a right army we will be, count me in commandente

[Hate Is Art]
