My guess is that these folks were not having a very good time before they wound up on the pile.
Neither, more recently, did these people in Cambodia.

Since MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is still preoccupied with the supposed influence of Russia on President Donald Trump and the American political process, we suggest that the publication of a new book called Communism for Kids by MIT Press is worthy of her attention. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian revolution, this book offers a glimpse into an uprising that was global in scope and which has not only destroyed the moral fiber of Russia, but has also done enormous damage to America.
The author of Communism for Kids, Bini Adamczak, writes that "the Russian revolution instilled new hope, particularly in women and people who did not identify themselves within the hetero-normative paradigm." The "destruction of the family," she writes, was the goal. "With the revolution, the right to legal abortion, both sexes' right to divorce, the decriminalization of adultery, and the annulment of the sodomy law (which had previously prohibited homosexuality) were implemented and enforced," she explains.
"In Moscow, one could find international communes led by gay communists," she says. "Drag kings could become legitimate members of the Red Army. Participants of the revolutionary debates decided upon the destruction of the family, demanded the legalization of incest, and advertised the practice [of] polygamy."
"Queer communism" is the battle cry of these modern Marxists, who label themselves "Queer communists" and identify with the origins of the Russian revolution.

Bini Adamczak sounds like a sick POS.
Plus how does one explain how disastrously the USSR turned out if it was so great?
Incredible.
Of course, the reality is that homosexuality was a crime punishable by 5 years of hard labor in Stalin’s Russia. the idea that Communist or Socialist societies were tolerant of homosexuality is a fantasy.
Lib response:
They didn’t have the “right people” in charge like we would.
A Bolshevik. Why is it always a Bolshevik?
America is full of them. Everywhere you look in the USA, there is a Bolshevik trying to destroy the country. From Bill Ayers to George Soros. I will not call them Jews. They are Bolsheviks. The worst of the worst.
I used to get “it wasn’t real communism’ as an answer at work.
There was a moment, a few years, perhaps 1918-25 or so, where there was a “liberal” sort of communism, in Moscow and Petersburg anyway, where there was a sort of bohemian paradise amid the starvation. It was in many ways often both insane and grotesque.
This was shut down with great force.
Ref Orlando Figes two masterpieces -
“A People’s Tragedy” - The best work I know of on the Russian Revolution
“Natashas Dance”- On the flowering of Russian culture in the 19th century, and its destruction in the 20th. Its quite amazing to consider just how much there was; and how often brilliant the stuff out of Russia was by 1914. And how little there is now.
My understanding is that the first few years of the Bolshevik revolution were anti-religion, anti-family, pro-homosexual. However the disaster it brought to Russian women and children forced them to change.
