When some (in this case Communist) party controls all of the aspects of public life and you cannot criticize it ... I wouldn't call that freedom. In fact, Yugoslavia was a one party dictatorship. Some soft porn on TV (probably in the 1980s) or ability to 'sleep anywhere' doesn't really change that.
- orwin 4y agoLet's say that freedom is too big of a word and mean a lot of different things, so let's adjective it. Let's call it political freedom. Do having almost no political freedom in the society you live in prevent you from enjoying other freedom? Well, asking myself the question makes me believe my first thought was wrong and that you are right. Which is weird because I also still believe GP is right too about his feeling of freedom. I'll escape with this maybe you agree: as a kid, you are not really a part of the society yet, your parents handle this for you(taxes, responsibility in case of crime, but also voting). So the lack of political freedom, as long as it didn't came with a lack of mean, didn't impact GP as much as it would an adult. The policed society can then allows you more 'freedom' (which i cannot really define).
