Thank god for living in a nation where communism never existed. You have no idea what it is.
Do you? I had no idea Portugal was a communist state at any point in time.
The Portuguese revolution (1974) was urged by communists who manipulated the army into their political games. We didn't turn into a communist country because of very few families who stood up against the whole "freedom yada yada". For example, after '74, most private successful companies were nationalized and all the others were forced with profit limits etc. Also, all private property was due to be nationalized if many hadn't raised themselves against the state... My family's lands were "analyzed" to see if they were to be nationalized. Good thing our family never liked communists and honorably welcomed those gentlemen with guns.
