The kulaks and the monarchists and the nazi collaboraters deserved it. Communists have been vindicated by history every single time.

Late teens, maybe early 20s.

How close am I?

Some people take longer to mature.

True. I didn't become a commie until I was almost thirty, young me was so idealistic.

Great reply. Respect.

This is exactly the kind of shit Republicans say about growing older and becoming more cynical. Same regressive bullshit, different ideology.

Ah yes, if a Communist is young, they are naiive, and if a Communist is older, they are cyncial and regressive.

The double-think is strong with you.
