    Seems like a lot of mental gymnastics to grapple with polling results, and vague gesturing at issues rather than actually grappling with how Socialism was better than Capitalism.

      Ok, as always you try to glorify the Soviet Union despite everything, even against people whove been living in the SU. May I ask you how old you are and in which country you habe been grown up?

        Despite what? What is “everything?” Polling data for Hungary states that 72% of Hungarians believe they were better off in the Soviet Union than modern Capitalism, I am siding with the people of Hungary, and against someone going against the grain in this instance.

        I live in the US Empire, and I will not tell you my age and dox myself further. I don’t believe that has relevance either, trying to goad people into telling you personal information and then trying to claim they must be young and naive to disagree with you when they don’t answer is just rhetorical garbage.

          And according to your data from hungary: Hungary is an authocratic state with an not so free press. It wouldnt surprise me, if that data is somehow corrupted. Or problematic because of an indoctrinated public.

          So you speak for other countries as an “expert” from the other side of the world? Thats really relevant.

          Further more your age has relevance by experiencing other times, with other media and a other zeitgeist.

            I never once claimed to be an expert. I claimed to have facts and statistics, do you believe that facts only count if they come from the country you live in?

            If person A from country X says one thing, and persons B and C from country X say the opposite, does that automatically prove A correct? It doesn’t automatically prove B and C correct either, but you took issue with me pointing out that B and C disagree with A.
