    Nice copy pasta.

    That Pew Research poll is 13 years old during a global financial crisis. A much more recent one (2019) shows that 7 in 10 Hungarians approve of the shift to a market economy.

    That same poll showed that over 90% of Germans are happy with reunification. The article from Der Spiegel is 14 years old during a global financial crisis. I lived in Berlin around that time. There was a little bit of Ostalgie but honestly a lot of them were little more than neo Nazis and ended up supporting the AfD. If those are the communists you want to hang out with, be my guest.

    Not sure why you devote so much space to the blond hair blue eyed Russians. Seems pretty racist.

    Yugoslavia was not a Soviet puppet state nor Eastern Europe so not sure why you are bringing it up. There was also a lot more to Yugoslavia than Serbia.

      Things haven’t gotten better in these countries in the past 13 years, and current pro western governments are looking pretty shaky as a result. Seethe and cope there child.

        Citizens of those countries disagree with you. Seethe and cope, child.

          I literally grew up in USSR, and majority of citizens of these countries do agree with me as plenty of surveys show. You’re just an intellectually dishonest bootlicker who’s doing all the seething and coping here.

            15 year old surveys during a financial crisis. And even then, quite a few of those countries were happier without the shitty Soviet government.

            A bootlicker would be someone sucking up to the Soviet Union’s shitty authoritarian government. That is damn near the definition of bootlicker.

              News flash bud, these financial crises happen every decade like clockwork under your precious capitalist system. And each time things get worse for the majority of the people, that’s why there’s civil unrest brewing all across the west. Meanwhile, pretty adorable you don’t understand that every government is fundamentally authoritarian because it derives authority from its monopoly on violence. You just happen to prefer capitals authority over you, and that’s what makes you a bootlicker.

                Recessions tend to happen every decade roughly, yes. Financial crises do not. It is clear you do not understand what a financial crisis is.

                You also don’t appear to understand what authoritarianism is either nor what a bootlicker is. You were almost certainly born after the fall of the Society Union considering how childlike your understanding of pretty basic concepts is.
