Just ask any Polish person -_- They had curfews.. Forced them to learn Russian. Lenin was pissed when he "saved" Poland from Germany
and thought the countries would go communist with their country, which they didn't. In turn, he started to take control and there
was little the other "super powers" could say or do about it due the special circumstances i.e. cold war. I know Poland and Russia has been
at each other's necks back in 1800s/1900s. They "claim" Ukraine is their's. The Polish president along with military officials mysteriously died
in an accident not too long ago on a plane with his wife when they went to go see a place in Russia that is said where they executed Polish
people and have no records of the numbers, and their deaths was blamed on the smoke from the volcanoes? Or something like that? Hell no.
We all know what happened. It's just undeniable because of the long hate. Even if they aren't officially communist, there's still a lot of tension today.
I know I went over my head talking about other stuff, but like in this case.. They used harsh tactics along with fear to keep communism driving along until it collapsed
thankfully on my birth year. Has there has been one instance where communism was used for "good" or put in a proper or good way so far in history? It's all been bloodshed.
Am I not right? And what happened when parents said anything bad about the government or leaders?
The kids had to snitch to the military or some official so they can take them away.
And! To top it off. Communism was accomplish in Russia peacefully. They killed millions of their own people... And that goes no different for China.
There's the huge distinction between democracy and communism. Democracy wasn't as bad as to sacrifice as communism did. And also the families involved with the communist government make up the majority of the wealthy.. Is that fair? Equal?
Uhh maybe I'm talking a little out of context with "war"? Democracy may not be as pure as it once was, but it has/had the best way of living.
Liberty or death, y'know? What's the point in living if you can't live the way you want? You're no different than being dead honestly.
Also: People living in countries of the post-soviet union were rated in the lowest level of happiness globally compared to the other countries in the world.
