I have lived in a country under communist rule until it fell apart in 1990.

If you haven’t experienced communism first hand, you have no idea how bad it is, even the watered-down communism of 80s.

it doesn't matter if I've experienced it or not. My comment it's not a praise to communism, perhaps just read it again (and read the context from which it started too)
