MODERATORS
I’ve been told my many fediverse users that no actually the USSR was the truly free one, and also currently Russia, and the CPC, and so on. This meme can’t possibly be true.
And also DPRK.
Is there some exaggeration in the mainstream depiction? Probably.
Is it a free country?
[X] Doubt
Don't worry, those dangerous people calling for 'democracy' and 'worker control of the means of production' were actually Nazis, the Soviet Union said so, so it was okay to crush them.
And there are also artists getting murdered for depicting beauty of their homeland, as it could "invoke nationalistic sentiments in population" (see purges of 60's and Volodymyr Ivasiuk too, also absolutely do listen to his music, «Я піду в далекі гори» is an absolute banger).
