The Soviets murdered 37 MILLION Russians, who were by and large Orthodox. 37 Million. Think about that. Mao is said to have murdered between 50 and 100 million Chinese. These two events alone should prevent anyone from moving to communism, especially when you learn the "insiders" were not spared. They posed a possible threat, so they had to go! Just like the French Revolution, killing all the movers and shakers who had murdered 750,000 French in the Terror. Communism is all terror, all the time. No one is ever "safe" from being eliminated.
