Oh no thank god, the old polish lady i know hates PiS, shes a proEU liberal, which sucks but its a bit less bad i guess. Shes catholic but not too much (for polish standards, for spanish standards, where i live, shes a nun ahahaha). She was from a former small-middle bourgeois family. An uncle of hers owned several companies in Australia and in fact illegally left PRL in the 1950s to continue his bourgeois life in Australia. She claims they were watched closely by the police for their family history. She also claims she wanted to study medicine at university but wasnt allowed again for her family history. She worked as a worker in a butter factory, which she says was very mismanaged, with most people spending half of their workday doing nothing. After PRL fell her living standards went up a lot, mainly because her son became a successful scientist working in the west.

In regards to titoism, i think he was revisionist (he sabotaged Cominform, was too friendly with the west and his economic policies were trash and led to the tragic demise of SFRY). However, i still believe that revisionist socialist states are better than capitalist states and thus one should have friendly relations with them and try to steer them back on the right track with aid and diplomacy. I agree that Warsaw Pact had a lot of control on certain member states. I think it should followed a Romania or Hungary like model, allowing freedom of policies as long as it isnt restoring capitalism or allying with the west. I think the problems PRL faced were due to its incompetent leaders. From what ive read, its seems that everyone after Boleslaw Bierut was either an opportunist revisionist or an incompetent. I also heard that after Bierut was deposed agriculture was decollectivized, which didnt help the production of food. Is this true? Do you agree with this?
