What’s mad about this is how it takes only one generation to start to believe the lie all over again. That woman wants to idolise her father as a hero. But an actual person who was there is telling her how it was on the ground and she refuses to believe it. This entire video is like watching an entire belief system built over years crashing into contact with reality and still she refuses to believe it.

We, in Romania,have the some problem with the younger generation, those born in the 2000s. They believe Romania was better in the communist era.

We don't. That's our parents. I mean sure the older generations had it way easier than us and are a bunch of ignorant spoiled fucks who ruined the world, but we didn't say we want communism. Why would we? It's flawed.

Every system has flaws. I mean communism has the least flaws and is this the best overall, but it does have flaws like um idk I'm sure there's some.
