    I lost just as many of my grandparents and great grandparents generations of my family to the soviet gulags as to the nazi concentration camps. My family used to be huge, everybody had 5 to 10 siblings. Very few survived.

    And communism didn’t end in Poland till 1989, and nobody who lived through that had anything nice to say about it as it was corrupt as hell.

          No, just what lead up to them being in the gulags.

          I feel like if they were normal jobs you could just say what they were.

            They were normal fucking jobs, none of them were nazi collaborators. Most were rural people with farms, the lot in the cities were clerks and fucking shop keepers.

            Go on, ask about skin colour and religion next. Ask if any were disabled, gay, out spoken, etc. I mean, there’s got to be a justifiable reason your heros would have all those gulags, right?

      Lmao, so is this not the communism you were talking about then?

      Your fantasies around these political ideologies are just as fucking stupid as the far rights’.
