So, gonna interrupt the new shitstorm for a bit and note that I am from the Czech Republic. My parents and grandparents suffered under "communism". Putin33's argument that fiveyear plans worked, or that people like it more now is stupid. My mother was denied studying opportunities simply because of the regime. My grandmother was turned into a hoarder, and my mother to some extent as well, because shortages of easily accessible things were engineered. My grandfather, a great man, who fought bravely in the second world war for the french foreign legion, was member of a crack troop, one of the best czech soldiers before the war, a man who regularly risked his life for his country, was first discharged from the military, then locked up, sent to the mines up in Jáchymov, pretty much the czech equivalent of siberian gulags, a major uranium mining center. He died prematurely from his treatment at the hands of the "communists". I say "communist" because they were actually more National Socialist, as in Nazi. Very nationalistic, emphasised state power, and while ultra right and ultra left are indistinguishable, I'd put them on the right.
