16 years after REVOLUTION in Czechoslovakia!

Yes, my dear friends,

today, it's exactly 16 years since czechoslovak people said STOP to communist regime.

I'm so happy..!

Maybe you can't feel it so strong as I do, but trust me, FREEDOM is the most important thing for you to live a lucky life.

PEACE to You.

Jana

 

yeah congrats on that

I'm glad you got out of that shit, yeah freedom is precious... No one should be without it

 

Believe me, I do feel it. I lived in the commie era, too. Thanks god, we could got out from the darkness. Congrats to the czeh people.

 

really? Where did you live?

 

Congrats, Jana. Feels like a second birthday, I can imagine?

love and understanding,

=wolf=

 

oh yes, 17th Nov. is really a big Day for me.. and probably more important than birthday...

 

I am Hungarian.
By the way, I am a lil bit sceptic about our freedom. At least in my country. The freedom is just a relative freedom around here. The same commie mafia drives my country. Sadly I don't feel very good at present.

 

Congratulations Jana, I can only imagine how you feel, as we have always had a fair amount of "freedom" in the U.K., yeah I have Tony Blair to complain about , but where would the British be without a government we dislike


And thank you for telling me that this is a special day ( you can learn a lot on Hip Forums!) as my youngest son has some Czech friends at his school, maybe I should take them some chocolate today as a celebration

Whoops see I should have supplied the chocolate on the 17th.....ah well chocolate is always good...........

 

oh Hungary, I tried to learn Hungarian, but I didn't have any time.. maybe later

Look, in Czech, it also doesn't look so great, coz commies are the third strongest political party..

 

yay, that's great to see that also someone else, not from ex-commie-countries, is interested in that! You're right, chocolate is ALWAYS good!

so was the communist regime so unfair and bad? please describe us the way of life and oll stuff during communism cause we hear a lot of things off communism but we ve never experienced it and i at least am confused! communists are supposed to be bringin social justice,freedom,peace and money to the poor! i suppose that in your country that didnt happen ha?

 

Dear diafanos,
Believe me, there wasn't social justice and freedom at all. There was a real totalitarian dictature with prisons, violence, phisical tortures, martyring...etc.
100 million cadavers all over the world. This is their justice and freedom.
About 100 thousand political prisoners have been confined and hundreds of political convicts had been killed in my country in the commie era (the population is 10 million people in Hungary).
Under these circumstances Hungary and other East-European countries
became poor countries. At present the average wage is about $500 pro month.
And... At present the former communist leaders are the biggest fuckin capitalists. They have 'legally' boned the money of my country. The power is power anywhere and anytime.

 

You couldn't say anything else that "Lenin is God". You couldn't listen to radio, that played songs from USA, West Germany or UK, you couldn't go to the school you wanted, if your mother or father was an "enemy of regime"(Someone, who said anything against commies), you couldn't normally travel to "west world", only if they (government) gave you a permission..
If you did anything from things I wrote, you could even get to jail, and your family had troubles from that.

This is just a "short version" of the story "Communism is bad"..

I hope you got a better vision to this theme.

 

OH! what a nice fairy tale.. unfortunately, reality is much different!

 

you're right, civil freedom after all!
Dictatorships is bad at anytime and it doesn't matter whichever mask it wears..in east Europe they used Lenin's, Marx's, Engel's(Stalin's 'til 1956) masks ("the gods of revolution"). but it was just a matter of power.well the cold war made thing even worse..but in any case the point is that the people, whose final liberation was said to fight for, was down a regime who controlled their subjects in an inconceivable way....and now capitalism have been widespreading, filling any gaps..leaving behind also those social care which was at least garaunteed like in Russia

 

Janaxgirl, funny you were just 1 year old

 

it's always a matter of power..maybe che guevare was not so much interested by the power itself..that's why is still a rare icon himself..castro for instance is not.guevara was truly fighting for people's liberation.but that's another story..
was Dubceck the cech politician who was leading the uprising?or Nagy..I always mix them up..sorry

 

oh, I know..

but you know, my family was telling me stories from commie-times almost every day.. so...

 

the leader of the revolution was Vaclav Havel, who became a president in 1990.
