    Yeah, after WWII they had to maintain a strict authoritarian rule to root out traitors and espionage and even still it eventually got beaten.

    You do realize that the argument you are making is “rich bullies will always ruin attempts at socialism so we should just let those rich bullies have all the power because at least we’re not being oppressed by a government”

      All the other countries faced similar challenges, and despite that they didn’t all turn violent dictatorships. You just try to blame all the horrors of communism in the twentieth century on others.
