but its not "real" communism.... /s

gah!!... its not even funny.. it really pains me to have typed that in... I have a bunch of similar stories. I lived in Venezuela back when Chavez had his first coup. My dad got stuck in the middle of it while at a business meeting bordering the airport where the paratroopers came down and I'm told there was lead coming through the windows where he was. I've had a bunch of friends from Russia, East Germany and Bulgaria who came over when the walls came down. ... uuggg.. I'm going to go do something else.. thinking about this is really turning my stomach.
