  • 🚩Look at a map of Europe and you won't see this thin sliver of a country but it's there and so I went to explore. Get ready to visit the country that does not exist...Welcome to Transnistria or as locals call it Pridnestrovie.

    That Cafe just looks like a good many of our schools here in Oregon, honestly. Nondescript, basic, simple, built to fulfill it's main function and that's it. Same exact bars for railings, same concrete brick walls with white/cream colored paint and whatever the school's theme was around it's mascot, same exact type of cobble/concrete mix for the stairs and such, etc. Also reminds me of some of our Rec Centers, too.

    Let me tell you something. I am from Croatia, was born in 1982., and still remember the old Yugoslavian times. This very much reminds me of it. People here, although it seems that they are trapped somewhere in the past, are far happier than anyone today in the west. This lovely old lady, when asked "how life is here" answers with "it's ok, we live; we have food and we have clothes". Beyond doubt, according to the western "standards" she lives in poverty, but she is happy. She doesn't need a bloody iPhone, a 50 inch tv, a fancy car, or any other debt inducing crap; she has learned to live with what she has. I would never say socialism or bolshevism are good solutions (remember Lenin, Stalin and millions of murdered, tortured, imprisoned, and lives destroyed in various ways in the name of "the Revolution"), and history has proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt, my only point is that the west creates the other extreme. People have everything in the material sense, and they can't have enough and only long for more...

      Well you can be a socialist with ideals of a non authorian goverment, just as you have "liberal" countries with fascist policies. I think social democracy has so far been the best middle ground and you can't have that without a fair amount of socialist ideals. The most capitalist countries have after all done just as much harm to citizens of the world as even communism. So I would never say socialism is proven as a bad solution, considering the most well working nations are way more socialst then say the US (especially), or the UK for that matter. That's my opinion at least.

      It's yeah to put it in a much deeper way of just explaining yeah, it's what makes it so interesting, not least in seeing older former things, like find the old Soviet stuff really fascinating, doing some real just out of my own curiosity of how things were back then the good and the bad actually.
      One thing I find really interesting think was someone at least who said during the 1960s though wasn't until around 30 years later they admitted they'd failed at Communism, gets on my nerves when someone says going full communist, since not one states ever fully done that, implemented everything as it is in the manifesto by Marx and Angles, for a start the Soviet Union always had a hierarchy to society in fully gone Communism there simply is nothing of the sort in that.

      Yeah though unfortunately Bald is in the minority when it comes to Brits abroad. He's educated, cultured, speaks Russian and takes the time to respect the people and country he's in. Typical British people abroad only speak English and spend most of their time shouting at pubs and looking for fish and chip shops and generally not giving a shit about the culture. That's why those shitty party islands are so popular with Brits, because they are basically home away from home. If you are none of those things, then you too are in the minority.
