Few questions about SCRA

[Cat]

For the most part, the "civilian" population of the Coalition are fanatically loyal based on a constant stream of propaganda from primary school upward. So much so, in fact, that a citizen of the Coalition defecting and/or leaving the Coalition is flat unheard of.

Well, I could give some examples when propaganda fails. But for that I'd like to know a couple of things, not stated on the Wiki page (Sirius Coalition, NPC faction; I chose it, since that page contains some information about the society itself):

1) Doest the Sirius Coalition have the same repression mechanisms used in RL? It is not directly stated, but from what I've seen it seems that it is so.

the policies of War Communism which attempted to obliterate any signs of the market economy in the Coalition.

2) The policy of War Communism was stated there. In-RL such policy involved taking people's land and "excessive" stuff by force. Did this happen here? Since there's no other reason to use such policy, since the Coalition had already been socialistic and would have obliterated the market economy before.

Coalition demagogues taking part in the Popular Revolution, but not having any great degree of success

3) This also leaves a room for betrayal, since children of the "enemies of the nation" in-RL were only forced to neglect their parents and then were taken to orphans' homes. The example of this is provided in A.Solzhenitsyn's book about the repression system (the book is called "Arhipelag GULAG" in Russian): a young girl who was forced to neglect her parents carried the hatred to the Party for the rest of her life. So, how are these things settled in the modern Sirius Coalition? Is it similar to USSR in that aspect?

If the answer to any of this questions is "yes", I can find a good RP-reason for civilian betrayal. By the way, in-RL there was a lot of propaganda (from the primary school) as well, but the Party held its position because of people's fear of being denounced on. Repressions were the main force (if the answer to the first and second question is "yes", they were the main tool of the Sirius Coalition's Party at least in the period of War Communism, and maybe in the period of NEP as well).

P.S.: this message was just to show that there're many in-RP reasons for civilian betrayal, and those can be used. I'm not going to use those loopholes myself (at least not right now). Consider those questions rhetorical.
P.P.S.: If someone was offended by this message, and by provided examples specifically, then I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend anyone, even if the examples look unpleasant.
