I take interested in XX century totalitarian regimes as well, but from an amateur's perspective. I also take some interest in marxism from time to time, and technocracy as well.

I too can't really say that I'm professional as I don't pursue the academic carrier. In best case scenario I could be called educated amateur I suppose.

It seems we share common interests. I'm certainly willing to discuss about totalitarian regimes and my understanding of marxism which I gleamed from works of Raymond Aron and far less known Rafał Imos.

I'm trying to understand more about Marxism myself. 

I'm open to political discussions - I'm Portuguese, so I think I might be able to relate with some problems you may experience as a Polish (perhaps unemployment or something like that). I'm strongly anti-EU as it is now and generally pro-mixed economy.

I consider marxism-leninism to be state religion of Soviet Union; though even before Lenin marxism had religious elements. Aron in his The Opium of the Intellectuals was more in favor of calling it quasi-religion if I recall correctly, but Rafał Imos in his Faith of the Soviet Man. The Soviet's Institutionalized Myth considered it religion and was quite convincing in this I must say.

I'm too open to political discussions. As for unemployment it is real problem in Poland, though it would be more accurate to say that issue isn't so much about lack of a jobs but about them being underpaid.

I'm for EU - without it Poland would be even more backward.

Yes. Yes it is.

No. No I don't feel foolish.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
