Description
Fragments of My Early Life Under SocialismGood quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring.
Good quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering/technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring. Writing a memoir is a completely different story. It involves language comprehension, describing observations, expressing feelings, making subjective comments, and formulating opinions. All that requires good composition skills and rich vocabulary. None of which are my forte.
Nevertheless, my decision to write this memoir was motivated by two reasons and neither one of them was to display writing skills or provide entertainment. The reasons were simple and straight forward Ð presenting facts and providing information.
The first reason was that I wanted to leave behind a record of some memories from my early life. This would only be of interest to a limited number of people, like my sons, relatives, or younger friends of mine. The assumption was that they may have a wish, or degree of curiosity, to learn more about me.
The second reason was that I wanted to address some of the realities of the social, economic and political atmosphere in which I grew-up. That information could be of interest to a large number of uninformed people. This year, in the USA the topic of socialism vs. capitalism is publicly, continuously and vigorously debated. That of course, is due to the upcoming presidential general election.
I was hoping that the facts presented in this book would be desirable and helpful as a alternative to the various misleading, and even fraudulent speculation, manipulation, and self-serving opinion on the topic of socialism vs. capitalism.
