Any other people out there who come from parents who were in the Communist Party?

I am a red diaper baby (both parents in the Communist Party). Anyone out there who grew up in a Communist Party or socialist family?

I was not one of the chosen ones; I never was involved in the CP in any way. My mother was a heavy player, a genuine red queen and very powerful in the Party. I was never told anything except that I was inferior to most of those around me. I was targeted for mistreatment of various kinds over the years.

@peechykeen: There was a lot of carefully maintained secrecy for the higher up people, especially back then. Nowadays, people who are in the underground Party hide it but children of CP parents, like me, who were not members, are sometimes willing to talk about it.

The children selected for elite underground youth training were raised like red royalty but the rejects were treated differently for many reasons involving status and also Party security.
