Other than the 18-33 million people that were rounded up and sent to the gulags and forced labor in Russia, and the 6-10 million people that were arrested and sent to concentration camps in Germany, you're right.

Had this happened in the soviet union, they'd be shooting protesters with live rounds and just dropping people.
Should they try that to a peaceful protest here, we'll get shitloads of people on our side and amped up and it will not go well for them.
