Born and raised in a capitalist hellscape, gullible enough to believe all their problems are because of socialism.
My capitalist country sucks. Damn those socialists!
if he is from Russia he is full of shit, but if he was born in a satellite state he prolly isn’t outright lying
(e) i didn’t read the crucial “im russian part” :very-smart:
Seriously, no one talks about how reactionary people from former Soviet republics are. I studied with a bunch of people from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and I just don’t understand them. I especially remember one girl that was a lib (yes, not a chud), but hated communism and socialism. The most ironic part is that we both currently study and live in China. Many times I wanted to ask her how can her brain deal with the contradiction of loving China, but seeing communist flags, events, and so all over our university campus. Not to mention that in every university degree in China it is obligatory to study communism and pass the subject.
Anyways, why do they tend to be reactionaries? Was life in the former Soviet republics really that bad, or are they just influenced by propaganda?
That’s kinda one of the bigger contradictions of AES during a capitalist hegemony. As people get educated for free, they want to leave socialism and make tons of money in capitalist countries.
To them, socialism is the norm. It’s just everyday life and they can’t actually relate the stories they learn about capitalism to reality. Meanwhile they’re being blasted 24/7 with Western propaganda telling them that everyone’s rich in capitalist countries. That you can choose between 2 different parties.
She wasn’t born in a AES state, she was born in Kyrgyzstan. She isn’t Chinese, just loves China, but somehow can’t see communism is what made China what it is.
East Germany had a lot of people who were disgruntled that they got no respect but they got no respect because they were stupid and lazy and these are not traits capitalism rewards either
