I fucking love when westerners tell me that my own experiences I lived through are fake. Wtf man, I had a relative who couldn't work as journalists because they took part in the 1956 revolution, and he had to work as swineherd his whole life later. He died some years ago.

The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

That's just one famine. I wouldn't count the 1921-22 famine to any system as that's was because of the civil war, not from the mismanagement.

    I am not a westerner lol.

    Multiple famines are listed in 2nd link. Death via starvation often occurred without famine too.

    I have one friend whose geandparents say they lived happy lives in USSR and after it dissolved many low level workers lost their jobs or died
