I lived in communist Romania until the age of 10, and I was happy back then, there was nothing we did not have - as modern comforts besides a color TV and 100 TV channels.
People were going on vacation for 1 month every year, and everybody had a place to work, guaranteed, life was going at a slower pace, not the work, eat, sleep, be stressed, be fast, of today.
I would like to see socialism back - without the dictature, and with the option that anybody can turn into a capitalist - that is if he finds enough stupid people to work for him as he gets rich. Maybe he can tempt them with higher wages, let them be free to be capitalists then
But greedy people who like shiny things will not allow it. They talk about socialism as the most evil thing in the world. A dictatorship is indeed evil, before 1990 you could not say anything against the leaders because there were informants everywhere listening
Dictature is the opposite of democracy, socialism is the opposite of capitalism, it has nothing to do with dictature.
