Sống đời cộng sản đích thực là gì?

Chào các bạn,

Hôm rồi mình tình cờ ngồi ăn trưa tán chuyện với một anh bạn người Tây Phương. Anh này là con lai Việt, sinh ra ở châu Âu từ những năm 1960s, gia đình anh không còn ai ở VN. Một vài năm anh lại về VN chơi vì rất thương VN. Nói vài chuyện bâng quơ không hiểu thế nào lại nói về chủ nghĩa cộng sản. Mình hỏi “Anh cảm thấy sao, làm việc với những người cộng sản VN”.

Anh nói tỉnh bơ, cộng sản thì làm sao – so what?  “Mày có biết là tao sống như cộng sản không, tức là có cái gì, tao cũng chia sẻ cho mọi người. Tao là cộng sản thực, những người cộng sản hiện nay, chẳng vị nào hiểu sống đời cộng sản là cái gì”

Mình cười nói, “Anh nói đúng rồi, đồng ý”. Rồi câu chuyện đơn giản dừng lại ở đó, bọn mình hi5 vỗ tay nhau và đứng dậy đi làm việc tiếp.
