Thanks to both your grandmother and yourself for doing this AMA!

What did she think of the Soviet occupation compared to the Nazi occupation?

I like this quote because it doesn't shy away from the fact that the wars youth fight are made usually for their own benefit.

However I like the more Marxist approach where the problem isn't that the youth go to die, it's that the poor go to die for the youth of the rich. In the U.S. we promise poor people things they should already have access to if they go fight in a war (healthcare, education, respect, etc). I find that incredibly, well. "dastardly", really.

North Korea is not all that similar to the soviet bloc or Cuba, that's rather disingenuous.

That's sorta like me saying American soup kitchens and SNAP lines are like soviet bread lines.

Or even "look at Sudan to see what capitalism does to a country"

the older generation learned from books, not the internet. My dad is a tech developer and would not understand reddit.
