COMMUNISM WAS INSANE | 2005-02-05
I am sitting in an internet cafe directly in front of the Kremlin.
I am sitting across from a beautiful young girl. Everybody here is white, everybody here looks GOOD. I am the old man here. They are all young, and they know I must be foreign because I am here and on a computer and don't have that constipated look on my face the Old Soviets have.
They have a motto here, "Don't trust anybody over 40," but not like the hippies of the American sixties. People over 40 here are simply worthless. They do no work. Their promises are useless.
The old folks here, including those decades younger than I am, understand nothing about how to DO things. They were raised in petty bribery, handling bureaucrats, in an insane system the average person cannot even grasp.
I am the only person here who is over 35, and I am surrounded by at least a hundred people.
Read again what I just wrote carefully because it tells you more about how silly Communism was than all the textbooks or theories you will see.
In Russia, it is not just a Generation Gap. There is a Dead Generation and a live one.
Communism was insane.
