All they did was own a few slaves, and they treated them like family, so really, did they even count as slaves?

"The Soviets were worse than the Nazis. I know because the Nazis were very respectful to my great grandfather, Sturmfuhrer Adolf Reich, but the Soviets threw him into a gulag for 5 years."

I literally had a coworker from Poland who went "soviets were so evil, if Hitler won the war, polish ppl would be better off". He would not listen to me saying that if hitler won then polish people would simply not be, at all.

Although it probably didn't help that I opened with "look, you don't need to like Stalin to understand..."

Next time try "Stalin's only flaw was that he was too kind and gentle, causing him to stop at Berlin."

The Soviets put up monuments of Lenin everywhere, but we tore those down after we were liberated. We replaced them with statues of Voldemort and our greatest national hero, Vyatcheslav the Jewslayer.

I hate communism because it didn't cure my family of being reactionary shitheads despite lifting them out of famine-ridden dirt farmer life.

The communists ruined my family’s egg monopoly and took my grandmas favorite pony!

Saw one recently who said "my family had to flee to Taiwan and arrived with nothing but the gold ingots sewn into their clothes!"

She then proceeded to block everyone asking her how her family got their hands on gold ingots in the first place.

tfw my grandpa fought in the korean war (I live in klanada) desolate

My great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it's still pretty bad.

If Stalin killed your great grandparents, they deserved it.

I have someone like this is my orbit and it takes every ounce of my strength to not ask them if their grandfather was a Nazi.

Communists took my family farm and my family's "slaves", who were most likely not treated well. >.>
