I’m preaching to the choir in here I know, but…
This is what democratic socialism (psssst: communism) is like:
“…To this day, my meetings with those teachers, philosophers, historians and priests remain deeply embedded in my mind. We visited them in their private flats, where the rooms were infested with bugging equipment in every wall, under every floorboard, and with every light. Often there was no safe place to talk. Then we would communicate with pencil and paper.”
