We'll it's all true but there are some smaller differences, I live in ex Yugoslav country which was in eastern block but more liberal than Soviet puppet states.
Most people aren't racist or xenophobic (except Balkan rule: hate thy neighbor). We are just an extremely introverted and paranoid society, that's why many empires fell around our people. We never had any colonies because our people were used as labour for other empires, so we never developed a superiority complex to other races.
We're just anarchy that's preserved through community.
I like that.
That's interesting. Thank you for sharing your perspective. As a paranoid and anxious person I can empathize with a whole society with this issues.
