    If an animated movie whose central premise was "Princess Anastasia didn't die and is an amnesiac (and Rasputin is magical)" managed to convince you that communism was bad, I don't think you needed that much convincing tbh

      Did that movie even have any Communism in it? All I remember was the talking bat and, like, a dramatic scene with a train crash.

        Yes. We see Rasputin get cast out by Nicholas (Who is a hunky Disney dad), and in response Rasputin casts a spell that makes the communists storm the palace. We also hear people complain about how life isn't as fun as it was under the tsar, and we have the communists checking the train.

          Yeah, some of that is pretty bad.

          But, like, a bunch of con-artists talking about how much better life was under aristocracy...
