Short story for those of you that never experienced communism based on my ecperiences of youth in communist Poland . If you wonder how your life can look like after Agenda 2030 will come into effect it could be somewhat similar(both systems were communism). After being stabbed in back by all allies(Jalta, giving us to Soviet occupation) Poland was 45 years under Soviet occupation. They've installed their government, legal system and economical system. Socialism is always unethical, unfair and unproductive. Pretty quickly those who could work efficiently stopped doing it. There was always lack of things. You couldn't just go to the shop and buy new TV or washing machine. Heaving money wasn't simply enough when you have deficit of goods. Tp distribute few goods to people governments created system of stamps. First image shows food stamps from 1983. It says you can buy 1000grams of flour, 250grams of candy, 0,5kg of oats, 1,5kg of sugar, 12 packs of cigarettes 1 bottle of alcohol and 1 box of washing powder. And that's it, for a month. Besides of stamps you could try to buy something but... shops were empty. See last image. Next image is stamp for 20 litres(almost 7 gallons) of gasoline. Of course to buy a car you've to get permission, if you had a car you was very rich - kinda like jet or big yacht today. If you want to buy something "bigger" like a washing machine or refridgerator you'll have to stay in a days long ques. Most of the time there was much more people than goods. For example 200 people are sranding 3 days to get refridgerator but shop gets only 12 items of... ovens. So whatvdo you do? If you're lucky enough to have that possibility to buy something you don't need you of course buy it and be happy because there's a chance someone months later will buy refridgerator he doesn't need and exchange with you. Generally - you worked for nothing, you get only this much to not die, live like an half animal and try to save yourself and family from this. Now you'll think - why didn't they leave? Well, it wasn't allowed. State didn't want its slaves to escape. You just couldn't get passport! Of course there was black market and there was also chain of shops that were pretty good suuplied. Only problem was - you had to pay in USD. It wasn't allowed to have USD. You could only get them from abroad(from family member that sent some) and state exchanged it at dramatically unfair rate. But yes - if you had hard FIAT state could make your life slightly less miserable. For normal people life was hard, for example you've to wait to get(almost for free, you paid some money) a flat. You've applied for it and after decade or two you got your flat. When you've a flat and you want some furniture you know what to do - stay in days long ques. After tear or two you might get lucky to buy it. Telephone line? Right away, people waited 12 years to connect line to their flat(in city!). For saying a joke about communism people went to jail(seriously). There were always some snitches between people. You could trust your close family only, neighbor? Colleague? Not really, rather no. When being a rat was profitable(you could get something you need) it was always a risky thing to show your cards and thoughts. It all ended in 1989 when we've defeated communism and held first from 1939 partially free elections. There were(suprisingly) some good things in this time that vanished after '89. People were generally much friendlier to eachother. You wasn't envy on your friend because you both got very little. People was much more helpful to eachother than today. That's pretty much all. You wonder - why I'm writing about all of this? For 2 reasons: one - if WEF communism will take place it'll look similar(but worse - communists didn't have computers, AI, face recognition, big data and world control!) so you'll know what to expect - long term effect will be similar - lack of everything, organic or planned. Two - you probably remember that commies wanted badly hard money if you got them? It's simple - stack sats like your life depend on it because it is!!! #Bitcoin
