I don't remember the time of communism ,that's why I asked my parents about that .
They have similar thoughts , similar opinions . They said, that there were some pluses and some minuses. Pluses are:" In that time you could be sure in the next day . All was stable, all was going by the definite way. After person
was born , he went to the childrengarden, after that he went to school , after that he went to the
institute or college , after that he worked , after that he retired on pension. And it was stable. We were sure in it, but now there are unemploiment and a lot of people don't have any work at all" Minuses are: " There were no rights to vote. Our government forbided some information, authors, books. We had the only information, that our government aloweded. We never knew about catastrophes and corruption. But it was.
Some great classic authorswere forbiden and and so that many of them left our country,
because there were "no rights to develop". So that we lost many of the greatest people ". That was said by my parents ; I think communism isn't a good politics, because all of us need freedom of vote, of speech, of mind, of religion - it was prohibited in that time. I think our society should develop our culture but not destroy it!
