It's true that they were subject to propaganda and indoctrination, but that doesn't mean that they believed what they were told, say, about a "worker's paradise" -- they were the ones, after all lining up for three hours to get bread.
Then the question is who really actually believes in a communist utopia? Considering the reeducation and work through labor camps, maybe the ruling party, but I seriously question why a poor person would still desire such a life based on lies.
