Re: Boris
Hi
Well UJ, I happen to be spending a lot of time in Eastern Europe at the moment, much against my will, but such is life.
I have posted photos of the disparity between the Party Members and the ordinary workers.
They absolutely hate the Communists and their rigid control of the average worker and will never go back to that system.
A job and a house for life, but you have absolutely no choice about the job, or the house, it could be 200 miles away, no friends, no family, no support.
You had to have your card, stamped every month to access medical care and any benefits.
If you wanted a decent house or flat, you had to join the Communist Party and get your card stamped with the local meetings.
No choice at all in Elections, vote Communist or have nothing.
No free speech, no free press, all state controlled.
You could not move jobs, or house without permission.
You could not even get a car unless you were on the list, as a Party Member, took years to get one, and the one you were allowed to buy was totally dependant on your status as a Communist Party member.
If that is what you want, if that is your vision of equality and fairness, fine by me.
Each to their own.
It isn't mine, and I will fight against Dictatorships, whoever imposes them.
Who is controlling many parts of Eastern Europe now?
The Oligarchs, the Ex Stasi, KGB, GRU thugs who rose to the top.
AKA the Scargills of this world, living in absolute comfort and no regard at all for the workers.
