I am a polish communist.

Wrong. I received many good things from the "communists" - including my zero-cost MSEE. No, I was never indoctrinated and we were free to attend church on Sunday.

After the war, Warsaw was in ruins. Yet, nobody was homeless or hungry. No crime and looting, either. That's what you get with "freedom and democracy" where migrants stay in nice hotels and natives sleep under bridges.

So, you are at least sympathetic to Communists...... but live in the USA...... that makes you a hypocrite!

I thought they died out, like dinosaurs or mammoths.

They were classy animals. The commies died like cockroaches.

In 1966, my first monthly salary in Poland as a graduate MSEE was enough to buy me a shirt and a pair of shoes.

In 1967, in the US, my first monthly salary was $8,000 in today's money.

Should I have stayed in Poland or go to the US?

Stay or go? No crappy essays.

You should have moved to the USSR. If you proved you are a loyal communist who loves Russia, apart from a shirt and shoes you could buy yourself a coat and a hat!!!

And a book about Lenin.

Even a big encyclopedia about Lenin.
