I was born in a country, Portugal, which at the time had a Fascist Dictatorship.

Whilst the Revolution happened not long after I was born so I really didn't grew up under Fascism, I definitelly grew up hearing the stories of how people would lie about others having criticized the dictator so that the secret police (called the "PIDE") would come and take them and about the prison for political prisioners near Lisbon.
