"The Soviets were worse than the Nazis. I know because the Nazis were very respectful to my great grandfather, Sturmfuhrer Adolf Reich, but the Soviets threw him into a gulag for 5 years."
I literally had a coworker from Poland who went "soviets were so evil, if Hitler won the war, polish ppl would be better off". He would not listen to me saying that if hitler won then polish people would simply not be, at all.
Although it probably didn't help that I opened with "look, you don't need to like Stalin to understand..."

Next time try "Stalin's only flaw was that he was too kind and gentle, causing him to stop at Berlin."
The Soviets put up monuments of Lenin everywhere, but we tore those down after we were liberated. We replaced them with statues of Voldemort and our greatest national hero, Vyatcheslav the Jewslayer.
Communists killed my grandpa in 1946, no the timing is not suspicious why do you ask
The communists killed my parents before I was born and now I'm starting to fade from existe
The communists ruined my family’s egg monopoly and took my grandmas favorite pony!
Saw one recently who said "my family had to flee to Taiwan and arrived with nothing but the gold ingots sewn into their clothes!"
She then proceeded to block everyone asking her how her family got their hands on gold ingots in the first place.
: We used to live in a mansion before the communists took everything!
:
I hate communism because it didn't cure my family of being reactionary shitheads despite lifting them out of famine-ridden dirt farmer life.
I remember this cat in a thread told me something like 'well my family actually came from a communist country and they hate the rich'. Same energy?
It's crazy how these types will refuse to look into what the rich were doing to make communism so tempting. Like sure, I'm sure Ivan the Terrible was reasonable on his subjects.
Its a little known fact that Ivan the Terribles full name was "Ivan the Terrible at Counting". Thats how they became communists. Trust me bro, common sense init.
Edit; fact not cact
tfw my grandpa fought in the korean war (I live in klanada) 
My great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it's still pretty bad.
If Stalin killed your great grandparents, they deserved it.
I have someone like this is my orbit and it takes every ounce of my strength to not ask them if their grandfather was a Nazi.
i know a comrade from a very bourgeois background, she's straight up said multiple times that she would aid in the execution of her own family during revolution. based?
Just do it now, no balls
fucking based
