As a naive 20 y/o I "moved" to China and lived there for two years.

It really didn't feel like communism at all...

All it takes is one person to break trust, and lie about it. "You must do this for the motherland/community/people" etc.

It can be a good thing if the imperative originates from an honest person, but it can be very bad if it originates from a dishonest one or from a collective misunderstanding.
