Ah, so *escape* is the name of the game.

what we read about

typo

it doesn't always win, though

How can this pattern be so impossible to fight? How has a counterstrategy not developed if it keeps repeating?

plenty of cases of people fighting back and stopping it

but those people are seen as the bad guys

You just said that never happens.

the people who fight back and prevent the bad stuff happening dont get credit for stopping what never happened

Ok, but assuming one doesn't care about credit.

then its a hard roll

either you run and get proven right when it happens like you said it would

or you stop it first and become the villain

How does the Purge create this unshakeable field of apparent Goodness that is capable of successfully framing its opposition as villains?

Why does that work?

because it won?

its a big topic

No, you just said, even when it loses, it still manages to cast its enemy as evil.

How does that work?

countless american journos went there and said it was all good

It's important so I hope you'll bear with me.

ok im trying to pick up what youre putting down

ask again

Talking about USSR here?

We are talking about communism, yes? Purges disguised as moral crusades?

okay, take the purge against the kulaks

Yes.

it worked

killed millions

subdued the countryside

in order to stop it would require a civil war to kill the government

that didn't happen

So which one(s) didn't? Where did people fight back and win?

kulaks were purged

Chechnya?

dont know enough about that as it is more recent and less communist

Ok, so what's a good example?

take south american states or spain

big spanish civil war

take germany also

prevent communist takeover by fighting them off while you still have time
