History /
Memories of the Polish communist era [115]
Ignorant people blaming every misfortune in Poland on the communistsI am sick of peopel blaming every single problem on the Communist oppression.
Poland was 'bida i nedza' before the war and there was no communism in place (that is why there was so much support for socialist parties)
Polish people before the war were hungry for socialism. even before that in the 1700's and 1800's when there were dukes and other noblemen who owned whole villages and had the village-people working for them , it was poor and backwards compared to the rest of Europe.
I hate it when all these people complain about the Communist regime, after all it was just only over 40 years. of course there were hard times such as food shortages, a rationing system and so on .... but so what, there was a much harsher rationing system during Occupied Poland and the time where families were expelled from their homes and driven East or men & women taken into labour camps or onto private farms to work as slave labour for German farmers.
So I will say this one more time; STOP COMPLAING ABOUT THE COMMUNIST TIMES.
Ps: countries like the Czech Rep. (czechoslovakia) or Latvia, Hungary , were also communist and they dont cry about this so much and blame all their misfortune on it , yet they are better off now , and it was the same time when the communism fell (or close enough anyway)
