In 1946, the Communists won a decisive victory, promising a progressive, moderate, and inclusive sort of socialism. In 1948 they staged a coup and established total control. Elections would not be held again until 1990.


I think this point got glossed over. The communists got a toehold through free elections, but then the coup did away with elections and established the communist dictatorship. If the people had been able to , they may well have voted communists out.

Thanks. I was just about to post “seems like a whole lot of important details about 1946-48 were skipped over”.
