Are these people who have lived (a signficant portion of their critically-thinking lives) under Communism or have an impression (mostly from parents, education, upbringing etc.) of what it was like under Communism in the past, relative to current times.
I've certainly had the same impressions as you from friends, but most of them would be under 35/40.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoYes. I'm talking about people who are 50+.
- badpun 8y agoI know one person who is like that (in Poland). Mostly, she's bitter about how much she is exploited under capitalism - she could only find illegal work, so she's paid below minimum wage, has only 5-10 days of paid vacation and basically no worker rights whatsoever. Plus she has to worry about being fired and starving on the street. Whereas under communism, the state was officially obliged with providing her with job, so there was no fear of unemployment.
