Your next door neighbour to the left (Netherlands) here. You're forgetting the part where under the commies you were not allowed to be a free indivudual. No creativity unless within the State's rules. Added value? Stolen / copied tech from the West, low quality stuff with no luxery. Everybody worked for the same pay. No incentive to become more. You're everybody's slave basically.
- meaty 14y agoVersus socialist Britain for example? (where I live). Dragged through the courts for using Facebook and Twitter, held indefinitely without trial under the Terrorism Act, all the technology is imported from the communist far East, low quality things with a contract attached, luxury as a form of class ego via conspicuous consumption, everyone works for the minimum wage in service industries, no incentive to do anything but live on state handouts.
- digitalengineer 14y agoReally? thats why a lot of young people move to GB right? I agree with you we (the west) are heading in the wrong direction but (thankfully) we're not a commi State (yet).
- meaty 14y agoYes that is the reason. It's an easy ride once you get here. Yet, although I think the EU would rather like us to be.
- digitalengineer 14y agoI was actually referring to talented young people from other european states (France, etc) that are seen as startup/business unfriendly, but I get your point. GB -thankfully- is not a commi country but it is showing a socialist trend. If it were a communist State they would have shot Nigel Farrage years ago ;-)
- meaty 14y agoThey haven't shot him because everyone would notice :)
