Well... in Argentina, socialism was already more like communism. Censorship was commonplace in all aspects of life, and if you wanted to get ahead, you had to leave the country, because it was sinking deeper and deeper. I believe on a small scale, but I experienced it.
These are interesting works!
I lived in communism, the worst kind, where you had to watch what you say and what you do 24/4, and this was not the only terrible part.
When there is no freedom, it is the most horrible thing; you cannot communicate the truth. Hugs!
I put the lid on those times and focus on the future, but it wasn't nice at all and I only mentioned one thing. Hugs to you too!
