When the world was so strongly polarized ? 2015-06-14T01:45:19Z Comment by Valentin Chiriac This thing with work it's a lie. That in communism the work is little and how big it is in capitalism. Wrong ! Wrong interpretation ! What we see is targeted work ! If there is the need to do something, it will be done, in both systems, if there is the need to pretend to work, that will happen in both systems the same ! 2015-06-14T01:39:17Z Comment by Valentin Chiriac To tell to a woman who was only 13 years old in 1989 the she was a communist it's a gross abberation. 2015-06-14T01:30:01Z Comment by Valentin Chiriac Make sure they actually ARE or WAS communists. With a very good aproximation, you can consider members of the communist party as communists. Even a lot of them become members for professional reasons, which may be true or not. Otherwise it's a gross misjudgement to consider people who lived in former communist countries as former communists. Not only gross, but VERY offending. 2015-06-13T21:26:31Z
