I just got a gig doing telecom permitting/design and I've had multiple converations with co-workers about the USSR and socialism already. Got a few Russian and former SSR engineers there so they can give some good perspective.
Also, nothing makes you a socialist faster than spending 8 hours/day looking in detail at America's crumbling communications and electrical infrastructure.
My Moldovan co-worker made a joke about how "it's still probably better than Moldova" and then I pulled up the state GIS database in Moldova and some images of transmission lines there and he immediately changed his mind lmao.
