I think a lot of modern western leftists just flat out can't imagine the horrible conditions people had to endure back then, I'm not trying to call people "soft" or whatever, or advocate for similar positions, but I really struggle to understand the pre-revolutionary conditions in places like China or Russia. It's beyond my scope of truly understanding how awful it must have been. And I've gone out of my way to learn about what things were like back then, listened to people telling stories passed down by their grandparents, because the conditions of these places just flat out aren't taught in the west whatsoever, just a vague "things were bad and people were unhappy."
