I don’t think we (or even that one guy) think it’s anywhere near the majority of the people over there. I think you probably have about 5% who are Che T shirt types and another 10% who are fellow travelers (but sane enough to have jobs and act normal). Its pure speculation and based on using the numbers from the US (we have maybe 5% who are true lunatic leftists and another 10% who are socialist leaning / further left than social dems).

and they, and their weird protest ways, are fun… to make fun of…

PS
and Ossi is one of those Euro leftist weirdos in the 15%.

Yes and as a fanatic euro lefty I always wear my CCCP shirt, especially in bars and discos,
the girls really like it, you should try it.

Communism is for loosers dude. If I have to wear a political T, I own this one.

Wow, ossi has the time and means to have his bike shipped to Norway so he can ride it there. To foster the Global Village, I suppose. 
But again, once you’re fully taken care of by your government and you’ve perhaps adopted the concerns of those less fortunate than yourself, e.g. in Biafra or Darfur, there must be more than enough of time left in the day to learn to play guitar, write, stage a play, develop myriad hobbies. In theory socialists would be far more talented and multifaceted - MacGyverish - than those afraid to leave the house for fear of breaking a leg and losing the house in the process by way of doctor bills and attorneys’ fees.

But then maybe having MacGyver skills isn’t all that necessary when your govt is watching out for you 24/7?

most of them never have been in europe, except biafra, who was abductet in germany as a young child and now hates entire germany.

Hate them for what?  Hating us? And themselves?

Selbstmordrate im Osten höher als im Westen

„Selbstmord ist ein Phänomen der anonymen Großstädte“, sagte Krisendienst-Psychologin Ulrike Haase. Selbstmord sei unabhängig von Alter oder Bildungsschicht, nur die Gründe ähnelten sich: Trennungsschmerz, familiäre Konflikte, Einsamkeit, Krankheit oder Sucht.

Germany’s suicide rate is higher in the east - where said kolchosen were - than in the west. Guess the “ossis” still miss the good old days of Real, Free Socialism.

Miss Haase blames the anonymity of large cities, the triggers for committing suicide include, separation anxiety, family fueds, loneliness, illness or addiction, regardless of age or level of education.

Yep, thats right, illness. They get free healthcare and yet still kill themselves.

2.5” LCD monitors on digital cameras and the Ossi’s of the world still cut off the top of people’s heads…

It was either the guy’s head or the girls’ boobage. I wish I could see what the girl on the left is holding up.
