I could feel that I was going out as I counted. It felt as if I slowly lifted an inch above the operating table and rested on a fluffy white cloud. I could feel them inserting catheter and needles but it didn't hurt even a bit, if anything it tickled. Last sight was the grumpy face of this fridge-sized bald anesthesiologist.
Woke up a second later in Intensive Care unit, surprisingly well rested.
By the way, there was no tube in my mouth. They just put a mask on and it smelled sweet.
There is no perfect system, textbook wonderland communism has lots of flaws too. In my ideal world it should be a mix of everything. Communal gardens or hobby workshops are great, communal workplaces not so much. I mean, people should be allowed to get rich if they can do it without abusing others. You should be able to start and grow your company, and get paid for it accordingly.
Moderates could and do live side by side without issues.
The "issues" are all those extremists. You can't reason with them and they won't stop until they destroy you.
Wanting all of that but without the authoritarian bit should be called something else. I'm from a country which was occupied by communists (collective ownership was a thing) and it sucked big time.
Except that they take shit very seriously at airports. Try jokingly saying that you've got a bomb while they're checking your luggage, they'll take you away for a few hours.
That's the joke, yes.
I understand that they might be comfy to a few people, but for most they're total shit. Also not that expensive, since a proper quality office chairs cost over 1k.
I'm excited to see how people will blame Egypt for this.
