029 - American Dream, Russian Dream and alternatives

Hi all!

In this episode I want to discuss some 'alternative' ways of living.

There are some stereotypes about the American Dream as if it's filled up with materialistic ideas and so forth, but in fact we do have the same concepts in Russia, I mean this tendency to get more, to have bigger houses, more expensive cars and so on. 

Communism crushed, however some people still want to build communes and they have had this idea since... 1960!
