> Stalinism might had a top down approach to ideology, but what would get you in a gulag is the people around you reporting you to the kgb. This made oppression including linguistic also bottom-up

There are no woke police. There is no woke Stalin. The analogy is utterly inapplicable here.

I'm curious about this, do you have some examples?
