I grew up in a household where my father since his college days was pretty much influenced by communism , due to which the time I was growing up , I had a lot of marxist , leninist literature at home , and there were few ussr imported books about communist ideologies ! Few other of my family members are quite communist as well ! So anyone else has similar background ?

    if im not mistaken our dear comrade @kristina@hexbear.net has a really based grandma and aunt* who lived during the soviet union in the Czech SSR, her aunt/* was a total badass who helped the resistance fight off the nazi hordes in guerilla warfare by using IEDs at age 80/*, absolute legend

    Edit: historical accuracy!

      so my grandma was too young for fighting in WW2, i had a relative, iirc my grandma's aunt, who was 80 something and used her cover as an elderly old lady to plant IEDs, her name was kristina :)

      my grandma was a pretty high ranking member of our regional communist party and did agricultural union work mostly but before that she worked at a factory as a low level union steward creating munitions for the vietnamese in the vietnam war

      unfortunately my parents are feckless libs with the occasional based idea

        Badass covert operations antifa supersoldier, fighting the literal Nazis at age 80 is unbelievably courageous. Deserves an Order of Lenin fr order-of-lenin

        she worked at a factory as a low level union steward creating munitions for the vietnamese in the vietnam war

        You have the most based relatives, thank you for your service, Kristinas grandma CommiePOGGERS

        Nevertheless, your ancestors are smiling down on you for continuing their legacy kim-salute

          honestly kristina went through so much in her life that its kinda mind boggling. our family had our whole village occupied by the german military at least 3 times in her life time, including during her formative years as a kid. had many men in our family get ruthlessly conscripted into austrian and prussian militaries against their will and dying in some far off place. its no wonder she was ready to kill some germans

              one thing i remember reading is she had like 3 brothers that died underaged in austrian coal mines, had 12 siblings total. just a wild and rough life. glad she got to see an independent socialist czechoslovakia before she passed at a grand old age.
