My grandparents were not communists, they were opposed to Bolshevism (Soviet communism), that's why they left.
It's better to eat out back with the dogs than be deliberately starved to death, or worked to death in the freezing cold in a Gulag (slave labor camp). At least the US blacks were free, they could decide to go north if they wanted.
From wikipedia:
"According to Soviet data, a total of 1,053,829 people died in the GULAG from 1934 to 1953, not counting those who died in labor colonies or those who died shortly after their release but which resulted from the harsh treatment in the camps."
