If Ismail doesn't know then what you're asking for doesn't exist.

What exactly do you want to know?
Best socialist country ever, but most western leftists prefer praising DDR because it was much more socially liberal.ok, ok they were on pair economically Quality of life was so good that it's not uncommon to hear even current petty bourgs praising it, and most people which experienced living there limit their critique to low personal liberties. Well, maybe except for that one old guy I met once, which enlightened me on starvation here, to cite him:
Most people say it was "very strange" time, mostly because stuff like getting an apartment or car was easier than getting jeans or deodorant. I plan on flooding Zig Forums with some dank clips from old movies, but I couldn't manage to get enough free time to do that.
Also both "communist" and "the man who own private property" is seen and used as insult, people's cognitive dissonance is strong here.

Everything. Videos, photos, stories, memes, anecdotes and how is percived today. I went to czech republic and I loved it. It was fun, people were nice… But then I met slovakians in there (i was in brno so like 1 hour from bratislava) and I think slovakians were the friendliest people I ever met, so I promised myself to go and live there in slovakia.
Also there is so little stories about it. People never talk about it and socialism seems despised by everyone (at least on the internet).
May I start asking what made it the best? Also are you from czech republic or slovakia?

I'm at work, and my old laptop is kill so I won't be able to pull anything for you. There are lots of movies on hooktube, but you wouldn't understand anything.
Hard to think of anything non-personal atm
There are none, or at least I missed them somehow
Wide range from "paradise on earth" to "literally gulag", especially in younger generation due to strong liberal propaganda. I remember that when I was in school, we used TVs to watch videos in classes only rarely, but once we had to watch document which explained us horrors of holodomor and how Stalin starved to death poor, kind ukrainians just because he was afraid that they would revolt against him otherwise. I was born after collapse
As I said, cognitive dissonance is very strong with people here. You can hear person one one day speaking how brutal and inhuman socialist regime was, and other day telling how he is happy that his relative is living as in socialism for having stable, well paid job without too much stress.
I was exaggerating, but it was among socialist countries with biggest quality of life. To sum up, it was mostly because of full employment with very good buying power and almost non-existent economic stress. "being in financial crisis" meant situation like you can't buy newest car and move to bigger apartment, not literal existential crisis.
Does it matter?
If you ask any more specific questions, I'll try to answer them tomorrow.

kek, this is the same sort of 'starvation' and 'breadlines' that people who moan about Poland during the people's republic always mean. You could only get bananas and oranges during a certain time of year because the Eastern Bloc didn't have a bunch of equatorial colonies to exploit like western companies did and therefore it was literally hellish despotism.
Now we manage to have both mass emigration and 10% unemployment while everything decays and the americucked government swerves from telling to eu to fuck off and begging for eurobucks investments. But at least you can get your fill of papaya year round :D

Why eastern euros always complain about everything? I

I'd just like to see what it looked like
Not really, but I remeber a guy from slovakia months ago posting about his gramps being a gambler with fake identities and shit like that with a comfy job thanks to socialism and that he praised engels, stalin, lenin and marx often. I thought it was a funny and interesting story.
Post whatever you want as long as it's related to czechoslovakia.
My questions would be
Thanks in advance
