I think it’s really insulting that westerners talk about communism. y'all had it too good and now y'all are being spoiled little brats. let me talk to you about the women and men executed and how their bodies were thrown out of trains and the basic food being rationed so harshly that we actually started black markets for fucking sugar and oil and let me talk to you about how they used to spy on everyone, we had mikes in our homes, how they made kids rat on each other and how controlled the education was. lights went out at 7. my parents used to study by a candle. everything. was. controlled. everyone. was. oppressed.
My step mom once employed a man from Cuba, where they are socialist but still have a trace of communism, Anyways, one time I overheard them talking and he was saying how he use to be part of the mafia. It wasn’t a drug or crime mafia. It was one where they brought in coffee, eggs and other produce because everything was rationed and I thought that was really interesting.
I’ve had several professors who were born in the USSR now. One who lived under Stalin. No one hates communism more than them.
