dude, i'm polish, and i know very well how dysfunctional ussr was. moreover, my father was from lviv; he repatriated to poland in 1956. members of my family enjoyed the hospitality of the siberian gulags for the reason of defending warsaw as a part of polish pre-war military, too.
however, i do not mistake capitalism with free markets; capitalism (in the stage where we are, ruled by rentiers and oligarchs that we call billionaires) needs to be reined in if we want to fucking survive.
I think for somebody fresh out of Google and an RM for Python survival is not going to be a pressing concern. The streets aren't exactly filled with starving ex-Googlers. Again, getting fired sucks, but it's not exactly an atrocity which necessitates the overthrowing of the whole political system.
non sequitur.
