@theropologist Growing up in the 80s was to understand that the revolution had occurred before you were born and it was a glorious success, because of course it was, how couldn’t it, socialism/communism was the better system after all. (Who would choose a system with unemployment and homelessness?) And eventually it would take over the entire world. And the use of money would fade away in the next century.
And then in 89/90 something completely different happened.
