Actual line said by an actual person in one of my uni classes last year
:thinking face:
Many of the Soviet and Eastern European émigrés who had migrated to the United States during the 1970s and 1980s complained about this country's poor social services, crime, harsh work conditions, lack of communitarian spirit, vulgar electoral campaigns, inferior educational standards, and the astonishing ignorance that Americans had about history. They discovered they could no longer leave their jobs during the day to go shopping, that their employers provided no company doctor when they fell ill on the job, that they were subject to severe reprimands when tardy, that they could not walk the streets and parks late at night without fear, that they might not be able to afford medical services for their family or college tuition for their children, and that they had no guarantee of a job and might experience unemployment at any time.

Let's stick to hard numbers, because, well, in Spain many old people would tell you things were better under Franco, you know.
Common myth, actually! Only 30% of Spaniards still support Franco, while two thirds of Russians support the Soviet Union. You can see that these polls compensate for relative timeframes that would impact those numbers too, so they're comparable.
Look at any country and there's a good chance you'll find that many chuds at least.
I love how mask off they are too, I've seen so many case of "right-wing" spaniards posing in front of Franco's memorial and sieg heiling as if it was nothing lmao.

The story goes as usual:
Someone says it was bad. Everyone uses their story regardless if they were former kulak or Nazi collaborator.
Someone says it was good. "Muh nostalgia, they've must had it good, connections with the state, it's just an exception."
Have you considered that nobody could do posting in the USSR
True, but have you considered that in the USSR you could certified Master Cannabis Farmer?
