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.
