The good old days of the Soviet Union

Quote: EvenBob

Ah, a secret police idea. Take people away
and punish them without anybody knowing
about it. An old and very effective idea used
with great success in totalitarian states
such as Germany in the WWII era, and
later in the Soviet Union.

I believe there are some unnamed members who long for the good old days of the Soviet Union. And if there are no members like that, there sure are a lot of Sanders fans out there longing for it. And NO I don't need a lecture of the difference.

This is a split-off from the Suspension List thread. I would consider myself justified to issue a suspension for hijacking. However, since there is a very light segue from the topic of totalitarian states in that thread, I'll let Boz off with an on-the-record warning.

The "GOLD days of the Soviet" ? Is that the Romanov's of which you speak?

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on that in the future. It's easy to go off track.
