How the HELL did anyone trust or collaborate with the communists, especially after 1945?Even moderate socialists and monarchists did, wouldn't they have known better?
>>18291069Places with poor downtrodden peoples tend to support these movements because they profess to represent their best interests and also there are lots of uneducated and illiterate among the masses in places like that. Keep in mind too there was no internet so people in these places didn't really know all the fucked up shit Commies do.
I don't remember commies assassinating foreign heads of state?
>>18291069Imagine you're some poor village peasant getting beat up by your landowner because you worked for 11 hrs 59 mins instead of 12 hrs sharp, you don't own the land you work on and some rich guy could molest your woman anytime he wants. Then a guy wearing the same clothes as you but who seems educated is quite verbose tells you that there can be another world without poverty, oppression from the poor and elites. A way you could fight back against the entire system just meant to strangulate you from all sides using the army, police, social institutions and etc.This is how you make a third worlder a commie. Plus if you kept your head down and worked a normal job in the Eastern block you wouldn't have anything to face in real life. It was still better then what Russia was facing pre WW1
>>18291069It went okay in a lot of places. For instance, France>>18291409Not a head of state, but remember Jan Masaryk
