I hope we will make documentaries some day documenting the the 10s of millions of deaths caused directly by western powers led by the U.S.A and it's barbaric leaders.

Russian totalitarianism was very youthful and romantic, nothing like the huggish capitalist totalitarianism we have now!

@buzzhawk Very interesting! Well, I hear different things from people here, depending on whether they or their relatives were or were not in the communist party, and whether they were or weren't educated or wealthy (and hence persecuted) .... There is a lack of true democracy maybe, but at least we have far more democracy than countries enjoy under communism.

[buzzhawk]

@caveofprogramming It put out theory designed to maintain the status quo and its privileges, instead of allowing discussion and be involved in honest debates about the direction in which the system was going. This runs against the very basics of Marxism. Things are really simple when you take them out of context. I think this is dangerous because it legitimises the lack of democracy we're experiencing right now. I can't help but notice the similarities between 1989 and today.

@caveofprogramming People's desire to leave or not wasn't because of the fear of secret police as you put it, or fear of physical torture. Things had changed considerably starting with the late 50's when it comes to that. People wanted a change in their condition when it became worse and worse after the late 70's. The beaurocracy's answer to become mechanically involved in propaganda, and, when things spilled over, repression. This instead of allowing democracy.

[buzzhawk]

@caveofprogramming Well, I live in one too. Up to a point, the system offered new opportunities to people from rather humble backgrounds. Its main problems were the lack of democratic decision making and beaurocracy. This lack of democracy led to the secret police and what eventually became its collapse. Its premises are true, especially when we're talking about the situation we're in today because of capitalism, and how the transition went in the last 23 years.
