Answer 2

Answer: c. Communist governments often rely on fear to stay in power, and usually oppress and censor dissent.

Explanation: Citizens living under communism were often oppressed with the fear of violence or death for speaking their opinion about their governments. Communism left its citizens with no real freedom to choose their leaders. They also did not have free access to the outside world as censorship controlled what information they could acquire. The paranoia which kept its citizens under control also lead to communist citizens experiencing human rights violations such as torture, imprisonment, and death.
