Except that’s a false narrative because the party is not some exclusive club. Anyone is free to join the party and participate. That’s how any democracy works. People who want to participate can participate freely. Might shock you to find out that USSR had elections and voting. Meanwhile, not sure what this absurd amount of power the party had over the rest of the population that you’re referring to. Again, you have absolutely no clue what life in USSR was actually like and you continue to argue with somebody who lived there. Perhaps consider doing a bit of self reflection here?
The thing is, how much power do you have even when being part of the Party? Think about how the Outer and Inner Party members in Nineteen Eighty-Four were basically two completely different social classes. Also, think about the peer pressure, fear culture and excessive propaganda and brainwashing within the Party.
You keep repeating this, but what specifically does it mean? How exactly do you think the party affected the lives of regular people in USSR?
You’re not the only one who lived in the USSR. Again, many people in the comments of that Quora post also lived there, some of them which are probably older than you. They’re telling a different story to yours.
Yeah, I’m not the only one who lived in USSR, and VAST MAJORITY of people who did agree that life in USSR was preferable to what it is now. I’ve already explained to you why your Quora post isn’t representative as it consists of a tiny minority of people who left. The fact that you continue to argue about a topic you’re ignorant on and have no personal experience in is not a sign of intelligence.
