During the communist era, most people believed that individual efforts to effect change did not make sense. Communist leaders insisted that the system was the result of history's objective laws, which could not be challenged, and those who refused this logic were punished - just in case.
在共产主义时期，绝大多数人认为个人的努力没有作用。共产主义领导人坚称其制度是历史客观规律的产物，是不可动摇的，任何拒不接受这个逻辑的人都要受到惩罚——以防万一。
