Promised to take us there when we were older, because he had a real dream of a world united in peace and prosperity.
My father did the exact opposite, and miraculously managed to get permission to leave the country to work abroad, and be “exploited” by these filthy capitalists at 10x wage he’d earn for the same job in socialist “paradise”. Then state fucked him over with income tax, then he fucked them back by asking for tax payment plan spread over two years. Inflation that state falsly claimed to be very low eaten most of the debt within first year. Welcome to Poland in the 80s, country that couldnt design their own car so they had to license fiat 500 design from the 50s to be produced from mid 70s onward.
Your father didnt live in that system, he just saw very tiny piece, that wasn’t representative of the whole.
