    Only really naive people from countries that never experienced the “beauty” of communism can support it.

    People already showed you several polls, of people who currently or previously experienced communism, which say otherwise, so why are you still posting nonsense like this?

      It is not nonsense. I am merely saying that a gradual 35 years long decline in the number of people voting for communists in my country since the fall of the previous regime indicates that the claim “a majority of the people want the USSR back” is false in my country.

      Also that this steady decline of 35 years which resulted in 0 seats in the parliament for the communist party is more indicative of the feelings that the poeple hold towards communism than a 14 years old poll conducted on 600 residents.

      Is that too far fetched?

      It is even weird to include the poll in an article about the people wanting the USSR back because (drumroll) we were never part of the USSR. We were just occupied by it.

      (And noone wants foreign occupying soldiers back.)

      People here seem to enjoy being able to travel again. They do not experience shortages of goods. And no one is sacking them from their jobs or preventing them from studying because they arent members of the communist party. The above mentioned phenomena were common in the last regime.

      I have the benefit to compare both the communist era in my country as well as what came after the revolution. And so has my entire generation. Which is the reason why communists have 0 seats in parliament here.
