1. You had to join a "guild" (forgot the word) to do so
2.Only selected and approved by the party. Elections also often violated principles of your vote being secret.

@Spag
Communists are very well know for accurately assessing what a Nazi is. "only happened with nazi sympathizers" is part of that propaganda. It happened even to people who actively took part in resistance against nazis.

>Most collective farms were brand-new and most of the old ones became private cooperatives
Again, you are simply playing apologetics

@Spag
>outlaw enemy sponsored party wanting violent revolution in a poorly written law
vs
>setup huge apparatus of censors through which all publication must go through, jail people entrepreneurship, only allow one party

"but muh both sides"

@Spag They weren't compensated or preferred to move. They were given order to give their property to the collective farm. If they complied they were allowed to live in their original property and work on the collective farm (that's imo worse than just theft, because the thieve is also rubbing it in your face). If not they had their property confiscated, were arrested and sent to jail, family relocated.

@Spag
I never claimed that it was cartoonish "literally putting a gun to someone's head", although sometimes was, but you just reworded what I said, but in an apologetic language.

>were allowed to be the managers of the collectivized farms, though obligated to teach farm management
Slavery, but with extra steps?

@Spaghettimon Censorship in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic officially ended in 1968 and yet it didn't stop. Reading the laws only gets you so far.

3rd party statistics you say? Those seem to be saying the opposite of your claims

@Spaghettimon So collectivization wasn't a thing? Interesting take

@Spaghettimon
"I've read the propaganda so I know what's going on"

"I'm going to steal your hard work and throw you in jail. I'm very humane."

@Spaghettimon >implying communists care about being humane

but yeah

@Spaghettimon Embracing a corporate monopoly is currently the best way of achieving communism imo

so Google called me the other day and was rather vague on what they asked me for gathering info about poast. that was fine, poast blocks googles access, at least their access they let people search from.

they said they wanted a half hour of my time and that was it, I told them early April. someone emailed me telling me I had to sign a waiver, nope. I had to be on voice call, fine, I had to desktop share -- absolutely the fuck nope

I brought up to the Google exec that I refuse to share my desktop
"I will warn my users about this"
"that would be really bad for you"

OK
