it was very violent. not only did the anti-communists rely on violent tactics like terrorism and sabotage, as they never had the support of the people (more on that later), but their coup also lead to mass poverty, starvation, a rise in crime unprecedented in the history of the world, narcomany, prostitution amongst women and children, the restitution of religion and superstition in society, the return of wage theft and -slavery and the reignition of nationalist conflicts. these conflicts led to nearly 200,000 deaths, plus additional deaths from ethnic conflicts and pogroms. from 1990 to 1994, the male life expectancy dropped from 63.8 years to 57.7 years. how is all this not violent?
also, as i said, those "revolutions" did not have popular support and thus werent revolutions at all. they were counter-revolutionary coups directed by american intelligence agencies. the overwhelming majority of the people in former socialist countries still prefer their past governments over their current pro-western puppet regimes, even after decades of capitalist propaganda.
What is this trying to say? I am only getting as far as narcomancy, which would be the raddest category of magic.
It was violent compared to what?
Very violent lol, jfc get a grip. The Khmer Rouge was violent. Krystalnacht was violent. The last spasms of communism died peacefully shitting it's bed in it's drunken stupor.

And you want to return to communism, but daddy Putie won't let you.
You traded a gaggle of soviet oligarchs for a tyrant oligarch and whine and moan about how things were better. Yeah well if you had built a better country you might benefit from the rest of the world, but instead Putie decided to build a petrocracy on fossil fuels.
and then doubled down on it again and again for decades.
That's just so fucking dumb in so many directions I don't even know where to begin.
'very violent' I can't tell if you're lying, uneducated, or just deluded. either way you're incorrect.
you consider the 90s fall of communism violent, yet you're fine with the purges stalin did for decades
WOW, that's deranged lol
