Anyone else watching that Communism programme on BBC2?

[HerBeatitudeLittleBella]

And getting increasingly gobsmacked by it?

what are you gobsmaked at? spying on neighbours, nudist camps or the fanstastic maternity and childcare provision. Half of my family are Eastern European so not surprised by it.

communism is very interesting though isn't it, i have two friends that grew up with it and sort of miss the collectiveness of it. mind boggles

They don't half like to flash what they've got!

It's good isn't it.

Cross posts! Wasn't particularly referring to all the nudity

Hardly a day passes when I do not thank my lucky stars that I didn't grow up in a communist state. The more I discover, the more grateful I am. Notwithstanding maternity provison.

I don't know really. Just how very wicked the communist party was, I suppose.

communism could never work, scary how so many followed it though

capitalism hasn't ever really worked either though.

But mostly it hasn't been quite as repressive and simply unpleasant as what called itself communism.

Karl Marx would never have recognised it btw. I really don't think he would have called the East German model communism.

what did he call china?

It's not communism though is it it's Totalitarianism.
I'm not even watching the programme!

What did who call China?

sorry rogue post
