When i was very young i also thought this is how it works, because that’s what my grandparents told me happened. The destruction of socialism in Eastern Europe robbed all of us of our future.
Funny, since I also had a similar experience with my grandad. We talked a bit about starting the work life with my little brother and we talked about the difficulties of finding junior work in some fields (graduating out of school and needing five years of experience type shit) and my grandpa just laughed. He told us about being assigned to a shipyard at 18. Then we had to laugh, because both that system and the shipyard no longer exist without my grandad really understanding that fact…
Both pairs of my grandparents lived under socialism, all 4 of them were in support of communism, primarily because of their children and grand children. They knew what the modern world looked like and hates it just as much as we do. You don’t get that kind of empathy from conservative grand parents tbh.
Which socialist country did they live under?
Is unemployed a job?
Only if you are some bourgeoisie’s son.
