Well, I actually lived there. I don't apologise for the system
as if you read carefully, it is not what I am proposing for the
future. However, the "Big brother" scene was greately exagurated,
it existed in the "personnal cult" era of Stalin and some
leftovers such as the romanian chap. From the 70s
for most places there was open contempt and semi-open
critique. But too little, too late.
It had insufficient starting conditions; democracy had no chance
to develop in a semi-feudal, illiterate, never ever even experiencing
any bougois democracy and the afternath of devastating wars,
it would have been extraordinary if it succeeded.
Which is not an argument against a future democratic socialism,
developing from totally different starting conditions.
nobody ever gives me a decent argument to these points.
bloody frustrating.
