spent the weekend with my granddad, he is 85 now and got married at 25

he started the family in a poor, socialist country, in a depth of the cold war, with no real career prospects or financial security

average 25 year old men these days are 10x better off and don’t even consider starting families

feels backwards 

Curious: what does he think about communism?

weird, I'm constantly told by Americans that communism is good just hasn't been done right. Yet, anyone I ask who has lived through it seems to not like it. I'm sure they are wrong, though.

The concept of it isn't that bad. Equality. 

The execution often seems to end in dictatorship and nepotism.
