The Fall of Communism

The fall of communism 

When free of the burden of communism 
and many states became a democracies 
it was a great feeling no one telling people what to do.
This and a free press became a burden for the public
who seeking order turned to the right.
When Neo- fascists came to power people rejoiced,
at last, someone to give vent to their prejudices, say,
people seeking refuge from war and most of all
the ancient hatred of the Romany people, was provided free
rein. Nothing new here people everywhere are 
unpleasant hate what they do not understand,
from there to concentration camps, the road is short.

The neo -nazis present more danger to society than communism, because in both elitist command their final goals denies us all expansive freedom, but the neo- nazis want it all.

So perfectly said. "When Neo- fascists came to power people rejoiced, at last, someone to give vent to their prejudices" I agree wholeheartedly.
