/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I read an interview or two. The two things that I can remember was how she talked about how the school system was really tough and education was the greatest commodity in communist Albania.

The other thing is how people processed the transition. They were coming out of a situation where you had to be a party member to have any significant career. There was obviously the state security but in fact people bent the rules a lot and so did those guys, so you were working around the system but you knew a guy and he was also bending the rules, and also some of the dissidents themselves could be state spies, and former communists set themselves up as post-communist oligarchs or mafia (or whatever, however it worked in the 1990s) so it wasn't really clear who could be blamed after communism collapsed. So yes, communist Albania did bad things, but it became easier for people to just blame ideology (socialism/communism) and move on, which is unfortunate because capitalism isn't all that it was cracked up to be, and that has benefited right-wing nationalists who have set themselves up as the "alternative" to the status quo.
