I Lived through Communist Romania AMA

how much do you despise communism

Did your (great)grandfather serve in Barbarossa?

on a scale from 1 to 10 I would say 11

My grandfather was Hungarian, part of the Hungarian minority in Romania, became a political prisoner after the war

he served on the western front

Better dead than red

Glad to have you, feel free to look around the channels and acquaint yourself with our community. It's the graveyard shift right now but things should pick up in the morning.

indeed better dead than red, but if you have to die be sure to bring 10 of them with you.

Well, you sure sound like a Hungarian! 👌🏻

thanks! I hope my the Hun - Ro in-fights dwindle so we can focus on the important issues.

Yes, us eastern europeans harbor too much hate for our own people

i know there is bad blood between some of us but we have bigger problems to deal with

it is upon the next generation to solve these issues (the bad blood)

This ^^^ The younger members would love to hear your stories and insights I'm certain.

alright

in the mean time i'll give a few tips

I am always happy to hear my elders stories. My grandparents lived through WW2 and my parents lived through communist rule in Poland so I have heard a few

at least in Romania the main weapon when everything else was outlawed we used jokes and sarcasm

it is also a surviving mechanism
