People don’t understand that western countries overthrew feudalism in the fire of revolutions a hundred years prior, but for other countries liberation from feudalism or colonialism happened under the banners of communism.
But it was the same process of purging the same old system, purging of serfdom and of people being property
Don't know about all the countries, but since you're answering a comment on Russia, I must say, it reads comically out of touch.
Yeah, the old system was purged alright, but calling it a liberation is disrespectful to the lives of millions of common Soviet people driven to hungry death, being forcefully moved around the country, killed in internal squabbles or purges or otherwise "collectivised".
And it all happened despite the fact they hadn't exactly been property for more than 50 years by the time tsarism was overthrown.
