In Poland 1970's years collecting empty drink cans and cigarette boxes was also a popular hobby, of course, Poland and Albania were not comparable countries at those times. Thank you for your book which was issued in Poland a year ago, and I found it great.
As an Australian born fellow Albanian whose parents came from Montenegro. I follow Lea's discussions when I can. Many Albanians from our region were very angry with the direction of the Albanian State especially when Enver Hoxha decided to close the borders. This meant that many relations Uncle's, Untie's and what have you who fell on the 'other side' stayed there permanently and never saw their relations again. It was a loss on both sides of the fence irrespective of what your political persuasions may have been. I remember as a child there were many insults directed toward the Albanian State for such a decision and many insults were hurled toward Enver from the other side of the fence. Of course such discourse on the 'other side' would have landed you in jail. For a very long time I might add.
Anyone can walk away and be free. It doesn't require justification. So what happens when a sizeable proportion of society decides to walk away, but the establishment refuses to allow it? Being truly free is irreconcilable with the concept of liberty. A free agent doesn't care whether liberty is granted or not. A truly free person doesn't understand the concept of rights and finds it incomprehensible that they can be granted by some higher authority or somehow be insisted upon as something natural or god given. To a free person, free will is simply something that is acted on or not. A truly free person will not be coerced or controlled in any way.

Lea is a FANTASTIC speaker. Enjoyed immensely listening to her.
Such a good story teller and thinker. I hope she writes a book about solidarity-not-charity ❤

Loved this discussion, though he could have interrupted her less..
She looks like John Malcovich
Thank you Lea ❤❤❤❤
