Throughout the twentieth these states, so organized, they were seen by some of the world's population as ideal as models of efficiency and justice. Hunger, poverty, exploitation, it was believed, in both of Real Socialism, not knowing what was the first casualty was the truth, which was to be hidden, had always denied, and the evidence. The death of a dictator almost never leaves sincere sadness, pity, compassion, except years later, when someone discovers that "it was better when it was worse: the nostalgia of the worst tyranny never fail and there was no system for inhuman, terrifying and bloodthirsty, who has not had and has its fans, after it has finished in the garbage of history. What keeps alive a lone communist state and irreducible? Fear is surely a terrible glue, but also the fear of change: we know we humans endure suffering terrible conditions, puff, grumble, but we never rebels, except in rare cases. The North Koreans are thus forced to pretend to be happy when hardly manage to fill the belly when they have nothing, not even the chance to say their thoughts freely profess the religion they choose, believe in what they want and go where seems to them. They live in a big prison, terrible. One fact, however, we must admit: all communist regimes had little bread, a few decent houses, a few clothes, moreover very ugly, but also had schools, and good, decent health services. Often the end of communism meant, for many years if not forever for part of the population, the end of all this: Free disappeared doctors, school entirely without cost to university. Despite these adverse changes, despite the loss of some fundamental right, for large segments of the population there was even an improvement in wages, nostalgic remain few. What they different now? There is the possibility to speak almost freely, the complete freedom remains a utopia.
