    But! But! Weren’t they going to nationalize all women??

    spoiler

    Equally devastating was the story about the nationalization of women. […] for months [this] was assiduously taught to the American People as truth.

        I remember reading that some guys actually went to RSFSR to check this and came back disappointed. Some didn’t came back since after knowing the truth about RSFSR they became communists, and probably this scared the Hearst so much that he abandoned this line and invented the hologramodomor, which is much safer since nobody gonna go and check famine.
