  1. People mainly know the myths about it and not really the facts. And those myths just grow over the years, of course massively fueled by propaganda and no one really giving a shit about the truth.

  2. Stalin was an anti-communist, though. People really don't have much of a clue of that time, country, ideology and so on. And that you can't compare it with normal times, when dozens of nations try to slaughter you from the very first day, followed by a war of exstinction against you...

  3.  @Lakrimoz  Lenin warned from Stalin and Stalin saw the communists as danger to the country. From those who fought politically (what was around 10% of the imprisoned, the majoriry simply where criminals and the numbers are brutally exaggerated regarding imprisoned and dying people - the Zar time were far more brutal even to normal citizens. Not saying, that it was a nice place, prisons in sibereria were brutal and the guards did not really car if you try to flee, becaue you will simply DIE in the wild. People don't get how GIGANTIC Russia is. By the way: Lenin named the SU what it is: state capitalistic. It reached state capitalism. That was fine for Lenine, because it was step toward socialism and from that you COULD reach communism, what is more a developement of society than a political or economical system (regarding communism, the political system would be pretty much - a 100% - democracy and the economical would be socialism). Of course SU never even got the chance to go further. Such systems are not really good at war and fighting inner and outer chaos, where you need force and control to not get crushed, so clearly not a system in which super democracty systems could thrive. When modern 'democracies' (you could argue about that, but let's just accept it) go to war (and I mean war in which they themselves are threatend, not what the USA loves to do, bombing helpless countries on the other side of the planet), they quickly abolish a lot of freedom, elections and so on for that time of war. It's the same reason: they need the control and democracy is too slow and soft for that. Look at 9/11. That was a single attack and what impact it had. Imagine it wouldn't be one but hundreds.

  4.  @ziinx5899  Communismus got absolutely nothing to do with the "state". Communism actually goes so far, that you got no state at all, but for sure not a strong, autocratic one.

  5. They only ban (social) media that banned them first or go full Nazi = allowing people to cry for murder and terrorism, as long as it is against Russians. You can try to do the same in the USA, good luck. The whole world knows, how you went wild around the little show on 6.1.
