    Please, feel free to look it up.

    The USSR was dissolved illegally. 77% of people wished to preserve Socialism. Liberalizing was a long process, and was done by some of the more corrupt members of the Politburo alongside the US, especially Reagan and Gorbachev. The idea that the USSR collapsed because Socialism was unpopular is fabricated and does not represent reality.

      Ok, now I know you are making shit up. Czechoslovakia had to be bloody invaded after the people rebelled against communism. Almost no one here wanted communism and there is still plenty people from that time alive to call you on your bullshit.

      The USSR had to put a wall through Berlin and shoot people climbing it to keep people from running away and some still did.

          I live in the Czech republic. All I need to do is not be blind and deaf to know that statistic is bullshit.

          PS: If you want to know the real statistic, the Czech Republic still has a communist party. It has 3.6% of the vote resulting in 0 seats.

            No, you need to check the actual statistics. I am not denying your lived experience, but encouraging you to look at actual polling.

              So there is a statistic with a larger sample size and more rigorous methodology and oversight than the official election?

              PS: IMO either the poll took a biased sample, or it fell prey to standard Czech trolling. In the latest official census, in the religion field, Jedi was 4 times more common than Islam.

              PS2: Do you have the poll methodology? Sample size, where it was taken, etc?
