The only thing on foreign intervention in my reply is the reference to loans, which were taken by the Polish People's Republic, and indeed the Romanian Socialist Republic - the 80s were a period of austerity to repay foreign debt to continue purchasing specialized goods from the west - that is undeniable.

1. "Stole a Piece of Land barely enough to Feed a Family". Anecdotal evidence, one of which I have no evidence of being true or not, and is besides the point of "Communism bad, because they 'stole' my grandma's land".

2. "The State of Constant Fear" is also anecdotal reference, one which is even harder to verify and can be claimed just as easily as "a very large amount of people are supportive of revolution to overthrow the government because they don't go and vote"

3. Aha, the classic. If "Russia" (you clearly mean the USSR, but probably think modern day Russia is the same thing) is so evil and despised across the former Warsaw Pact, why is it still popular in East Germany? In Bulgaria? In Serbia? Even, before 2014, in Ukraine? And besides, what does Russia matter? Does the viability of a political ideology depends on if a state is popular around the world or not? Were that the case, Kingdoms would have been abolished centuries before the French revolution and religion would be gone by now.

4. "context I avoided on Purpose" No, it's nonsense you added, and a common tale told around these parts of the world. What do you think Donald Tusk, the Kaczyński brothers, Lech Wałęsa and Bronisław Komorowski, all major political figures of the post-1990 era in Poland all have in common? They were in the opposition to the PZPR. And nowadays the most common political ammunition between parties in Poland is to accuse each other of communism. This is moronic! "Oh he was in the communist party and that's why he's corrupt!" is fucking nonsense - and what's communist about market reforms, joining the EU, befriending America, like the Alliance of the Democratic Left did in Poland in the early 2000s? (and lost 3/4 of their voters after that).

Blame all the problems on socialism all you want, and I know you will, but how long will this continue? 20 years? 50 years? And you want to dig further and uncover more and more "crimes". All this'll do is find out that to expand the "Crimes" of communism, you have to go "the fascists from WW2 are innocent victims, actually"
