I just woke up, I'm not going to proof read this, deal with it. Communism promotes individualism in the same way capitalism does, but you don't complete for money, but status in the regime: - Each man for himself, do whatever you have to to gain promotion or get property from regime (others need to wait in bread lines because they are lazy) - Neighbor doing something unusual? Report him. How does he dare do something that could affect MY status. - Use your status to promote you family members, get them jobs and gibs past the system. - Utilize regimes communist "programs" to open up varous businesses and companies to launder money and screw people up. Regime turns a blind eye because you are a "good communist and party member". All of these problems existed on all levels of communist society in Croatia. From street cleaner to directors. "Every man for himself", " if you don't do it someone else will". Still a lot of this mentality exists because of boomers, and they have transferred it to gen x. Good thing is that majority of millennials and gen z have started to reject it and look down on these people. What I told you was explained to me by a Croatian boomer who lived in communism and was always against it. This was the answer to the question "how can boomers in America and Croatia, two ends of White world, be exactly the same". The answer was systems that promote individualism, and pair it with similar propaganda - and you get God's greatest piece of shit - boomer.
