"An old woman from one of the Baltic states who'd lived under Nazi and Communist oppression was asked which was worse. Her answer was that if you did what the Nazis wanted, they left you alone, but the Communists demanded that you think what they thought. Essentially the Nazis merely wished to enslave or possibly kill you, but the Communists wanted to steal your soul."This is how it was. Plus, I might add that the Communist too, imprison or killed you ("accidents"), if you didn't do what they wanted.
———the Communists demanded that you think what they thought-——
That is the attitude of many on Free Republic
