Jaroslav,


When I was 19 I hitch-hiked "behind the Iron Curtain". I am under no illusions as to the horrors of the Soviet Socialist system. However, I am glad I went and saw it first-hand.


If I were to visit the ZIL factory I would do so not as an act of "support" for the system, but as an act of engaging in the "real world", and seeing, what is now, an historical curiosity.


Socialism sucks.
