@flancian Hehe, it's Chuck Norris vs COMMUNISM though.
@flancian Ah now I get the statement. At the same time... Socialist states tend to have a very strictly defined ruling class in form of the CP hierarchy. And this ruling class is necessary to preserve the structure of the society.
@georgespolitzer I thought Stalin was actually fine?!
(You know, cause they're all commies and stuff 😆)
@flancian I'm not sure what they're referring to by "West", but east germany, for instance, was as oppressive as any other socialist state, surveillance and torture and all - or do they mean something else?
@flancian Well those are terrible examples, though, aren't they?
