It would be hard for everyone to wake up from a coma and realise that everything is way different from the past.

@chankljp That's the thing about nostalgia, it ignores all the things that are negative and instead focuses on the positive side, however few they are.

I absolutely agree with you. No one will deny that there are many flaws and issues with in capitalist and/or democratic system, but they are by far the best systems that we have come up with. The user that I was responding to wrote about how great socialism in the Eastern Soviet blocks were and ignored all the much worst issues with in them such as the Stasi/KGB secret police, censorship of the media, a lack of the right to travel and free speech, etc.

@chankljp I'm a Chinese diaspora born in Australia. I have to say that I have no relations what so ever of the legacies of the Cold-War. I was born in 92 and so when I came into age, all the relics of the era was all gone. I live in a democratic nation and cannot think of any other standards of living (granted that Australia enjoys a heavy welfare system which is kinda like socialist-style). So I count myself lucky that I did not live like my parents during the Cultural Revolution.

The first time I watched this movie I laughed my balls off when the helicopter came by with Lenin.
I can't watch this movie without tears in my eyes, I know it sounds silly.

I just read two pages of comments. I can't help but to think we humans don't have the maturity that equals our scientific/technological know-how. Could it be capitalism and communism are both flawed more due to humans rather than the systems themselves?
