I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

      It was never communism that was wrong, it was the dictatorships.

      The good folks in Cuba seem to be doing quite well despite their economy being oppressed by the US and most of the rest of the western world. But living on the edge of the former Soviet Union, few remember it fondly. To be clear, they do remember the good bits fondly (such as a lack of planned obsolescence in products, or the fact that you could live in a village of 50 people and the buses would still come multiple times a day), just not the whole dictatorship aspect.

      For a few more decades, we can’t try communism here because older people still remember the soviet regime. One day, perhaps we can try again without having a foreign oppressor force it upon us.
