My parents used to tell me that no matter what, nobody would ever get any news of what was happening in communist Albania under the regime of Enver Hoxha, even when it was more than apparent that it was akin to North Korea today.
I have seen how subdued people in Albania were convinced communism was "good" because oppressed people cooperated to help each other, while now they do not feel this bond anymore due to competition. Misery can create a false feeling of brotherhood in the oppressed mass, leading to easier enslavement: they felt "good" under enemy communism. But potential person of the Gods Soul can trigger a reaction to this false feeling, and push the oppressed to rebel even without his/her knowledge. This is what I perceived talking to people who lived under communism, they were confused.
