@bubblybubbles "...in the Russia of to-day it is not at all necessary to express your dissension in word or act to become subject to arrest; the mere holding of opposing views makes you the legitimate prey of the de facto supreme power of the land, the Tcheka, that almighty Bolshevik Okhrana, whose will knows neither law nor responsibility."

@bubblybubbles Having read some books myself I can't help but bring up the betrayal of the non-communists after the revolution, notably the murder of anarchists, as pointed out by Emma Goldman and others (in exile).
