If you have no practical experience living in a totalitarian country, don't wish that upon yourself and your family.

That momentary feeling of triumphing over your enemies won't compensate for what you'd lose. This is a mistake that was made by numerous intellectuals in history.

1920's: Hard times create strong men.

1950's: Strong men create good times.

1980's: Good times create weak men.

2010's: Weak men create hard times. There you are, wishing for hard times. May I suggest finding yourself the socialist paradise where they do as you wish and move there? You should be happier and we will be as well as long as your wishes don't come true.
