      I lived there. No, military was not fetishized. Most of the people would not want to go and serve. The draft was something to avoid if you can.

            So you didn’t actually experience life under the soviet gulags.

              I did not claimed I am. But Soviet ideology and fascist ideology are quite different. It is not like there must be just single ideology that can do bad things.

                  Yes. There are common elements too. Yet there were quite different. There are common elements between fascism and democracy (both allow private property, for example, both have idea of state), so what? The world is not binary.
