Oh boy, I am sure as hell.

They stole the money. Then they collectivized everything. If you refused to cooperate they shot your dog and if you didn’t get the message then they staged it that you had an illegal weapon and they had to shot you too. Or they stole your cattle right away for “greater good”.

If you were considered a threat to a regime, they were able to destroy your entire life.

At least 300 people we sentenced to death.

Almost 400 killed in an attempt to flee the country.

Up to 7000 died in prisons and gulags.

There were up to 300.000 people sentenced to prison for political reasons.

Around 300.000 fled the country in fear of oppresion.

A lot of people commited suicide when they we threatened, or got their life destroyed.

For context - around 12-13 million people lived in Czechoslovakia. They were able to effectively destroy lives of millions.

State is your worst enemy. It’s the apex predator for humankind. And there is no way to excuse it but arguing about if it’s real communism, socialism or any other shit.

I am sorry to ruin it for you, I know you’re from Russia - I guess you would know better.
