They were happy!!! People were crying, when on 80's olympiс games bear flew to the sky... People were exited of their lives. I remeber when we were traveling on bikes with parrents. Epic summer camps, where you can go out of building and pick up some berries and mushrums. Perfect clean nature and cityes. People were working for real money and dont even think about cheating or stealing more. There were stability. I dont say that there were only pluses, bad side of communism got some perssure on ppls. But in overall that were epic times. And then it ruined. And became haos.. That was worst time ever....
If it was such a paradise then why did the people rise up and overthrow the despotic leadership?

Well, during the epoch of socialism everyone has been feeling theirselves much better than in 1991 when the USSR ceased to exist.
And yeah, the USSR fell into pieces because of some politicians who wanted more powers than they could achieve earlier. No one except them rose up, actually.
All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
EDIT: bugger it, somebody got there before me.
Capitalism works, it just sucks that you've had some pretty horrible people pulling the strings in Albania. But then the vast majority of Communist Dictators (which by the way is a hilarious title) have been monsters. You only have to look at the past to see that communism just doesn't work.

I hear this argument a lot, and it always makes me wonder if that is good enough reason to accept capitalism. Im off topic, since I don't condone communism either, but how well has capitalism really worked? It seems to me that capitalism has just grown, and in recent years has grown to the point that we are beginning to see some of the backlashes of it. Capitalism has always, and will always exploit someone, so why is that considered functional?
