I've never said that we had Western freedoms. We've had different and sometimes even bigger freedoms. The problem is that you have your realm of what you think is important, and you measure my freedom according to your gauge. Likewise a man could come from Sharia country into US, and say that there are no freedoms there because he can't marry 5 females.
Yugoslavia is currently an occupied country. Who on Earth would come here in 1942? People escaped the war you organized. Croatia and Serbia don't even exist by the book - they have no sovereignty.
In fact it is totally opposite in theory. Western societies function on strong gap between upper and lower classes, while communism is promoting what is called uravnilovka. You know that very well, you ranted against it in previous post. Anyhow, you're making this like people here don't want to work. They want to work, but not for you and your wealth.
Serbia requires nothing of me. I'm not even Serbian. I'm here just because this is one of the strong anti-nazi posts in Europe.
I've never in my life read a single Russian textbook. I don't even speak Russian.
I would be glad if you and your NATO countryman were really out of here. Just simply out with their ideology, advises, weapons, laws, partitions, warmongering, crazy political ideas, embassies...
I know I said I wouldn't do this, but...
Angela:I have the freedom to express any political opinion, racial opinion, or religious opinion I choose, even the most controversial, and the government can't interfere, so long as I don't advocate any one's injury or death. I have the freedom to read anything, published anywhere, advocating any point of view whatsoever. I have the freedom to vote for anyone I choose, and I also have the freedom to become involved in the political process and advocate for my political beliefs, even if that takes the form of advocating for extreme socialism/communism or promoting extreme right wing political beliefs. I have the freedom to believe in God or not believe in God, and to worship in any way I see fit, so long as I don't hurt other people. I have the freedom to marry anyone I choose. I have the freedom to have children or not have them, as I like, because I have access to birth control. I also have the freedom to have as many children as I choose. I have the freedom, subject to checks to insure my sanity and that I don't have a criminal record, to have a hunting gun, or, if I work in a dangerous profession, to carry a gun for my protection.
Ike:Here? Every single one of them
It helps if people remember what they've said...Now you're saying Yugoslavia DIDN'T have all these freedoms. OK, glad we've got that straight.
Now, what DIFFERENT freedoms did they have in Yugoslavia? The freedom to oppress anyone who didn't speak their language or follow their religion or accept second class citizenship doesn't count.
You can't distort the common meaning of words in order to change black into white. So, the definition of freedom which everyone understands can't suddenly become the freedom to oppress other people. By the same reasoning, dirty old men in some break away sect of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doesn't have the freedom, in a civilized society, to marry a succession of fourteen year old girls and hound their own underage young sons out of the group so they'll have less competition.
FREEDOM can't be defined as the LICENSE to ABUSE other human beings.)
Anyone who says that there wasn't a class system in Communist countries is prevaricating. There was a huge difference between the way that the upper level Party members lived and the way that the rest of the population lived, from different housing, to different cars (and many people didn't have cars), to different stores for food, clothing, you name it, to different health care. Not only do we have documents; we have the testimony of people who saw it, including me. You get to have your own opinions, but you don't get to make up your own facts.
Which leads me to that whopper about the west starting the war in Yugoslavia. War breaks out periodically in the Balkans because its inhabitants cling to their tribal animosities and grievances and can't refrain from turning to rape and murder to redress those grievances. It's been going on for a thousand years, long before the U.S. even existed. Anyone who has ever picked up a history book knows that.
Besides, what strategic interest do you think the US had in destabilizing Yugoslavia at that time, of all places? T
Also, to be perfectly honest, I'm beyond tired of all this internet dishonesty. I can understand not giving out personal IDs given the nutjobs with some computer skills who frequent the Web, but why do some people not even have the courage to admit their real nationality? We've got Stormfront Spaniards all over the internet pretending to be every nationality under the sun, even maybe people from the Caucasus, and now we've supposedly got a non-Russian, non-Serbian, carrying the banner for Yugoslavian Communism and Serbian ethnic purity.
(By the way, you don't have to read the Russian books themselves, you just have to be indoctrinated into their world view.)
This one is a winner too...Serbia is one of the last bastions of anti-Nazism?
Do you even know the definition of Nazism, economically and politically? Of Fascism? Where are the Fascist countries of Europe? Precisely detail how Britain is like Nazi Germany. This smacks to me of the garbage coming out of the Soviet controlled Ukraine. Everybody who is against Communism is a Nazi. The only European countries in the last twenty five years who have behaved like Nazis are the countries in the Balkans.
You know what, forget it. I'm not learning anything here, you certainly have no interest in any different point of view, and most importantly, I'm getting really depressed that people still actually think like this in this day and age. This time, I really am out.
