I saw communism too. For much of my life, I was vehemently anti-communist. I now admit I was wrong.

- invaded by the U.K., the U.S., and 12 other powers (1918)
- strarved by the British Empire's Gold Embargo
- invaded by Hitler (1941, "Operation Barbarossa". 20 million are killed. 70,000 towns and villages are destroyed. A third of the Soviet Union is reduced to rubble).
- under threat of a U.S. first-strike (Sep 1945 onwards, E.g., JIC-329 plan calls for dropping atomic bombs on 20 Soviet cities: Moscow, Gorki, Kuibyshev, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk , Omsk, Saratov, Kazan, Leningrad , Baku, Tashkent, Chelyabinsk, Nizhni Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Molotov, Tbilisi, Stalinsk, Grozny, Irkutsk, and Jaroslavl)
- forced to compete with Marshall Plan
- strangled by U.S. sanctions
