You really seem confused by the simplest things recently.
It just never occurred to me that minority's included pretty much everyone. I was taught that minorities generally referred to racial and ethnic distinctions. It looks like were at the point where point where the majority are minority's.
Well like I said, you seem confused by modern life.
Basic human rights. This shit ain’t complicated and once again religious right wing authoritarians are against them.
Minorities: racial, ethnic, class, religious, linguistic or gender and sexual.
They have also had just one generation growing up under democracy, that's not a very stable foundation for a society unfortunately. Most Poles (shouldn't it be Polanders?) still remember the way life was under the old police state dictatorship which used to rule them. It was bad, for most of them, but in a society where economic hardship and uncertain future feels threatening - and perhaps incomprehensibly so, some people will look back at those days of stability with rose-colored glasses.
Basically no part of Europe had any tradition of democracy such as we know it today in the days before the Russian revolution. Some countries had parliaments, but they also had kings with formal power, and in my country for example women lacked the right to vote.

What I meant though wasn't looking back at the pre-Soviet era (which only a tiny fraction of society can still do today, you'd have to be well over 100 years old to have any genuine memories from that period), but looking back with nostalgia at the actual Soviet era. It sounds crazy, but some people actually do that. It's the good ole "the devil you know" factor, plus, like I said, rose-colored glasses. The past tends to seem brighter and better once you've put some distance to it. I know; I feel the same way myself about the '70s and '80s.
OK so I already explained this which means you are clearly trolling and everybody in this thread needs to ignore you.
The American government is in the service of the 1% whose world wide interests are in making money not in preserving the freedom of the individual. A system based on personal greed and how far and how much an individual can make will corrupt all democracies everywhere opening the world up to those who seek not the capacity to earn money themselves but to take it from those who already have made it themselves. Every parasite that rises to dominate will evolve its own parasites. Self hate creates an empty inner hunger which creates a need for narcisistic self appreciation that is always based on ego identification with something external, wealth, power, fame, glory all of which become some form of sacred cow ism. Only love creates an interest in the welfare of others that is real. Competition is hate and that's the last thing people want to see. In this world the lover is invisible.
