Didn't the USSR just do state capitalism, and not actual communism or socialism? And weren't they also totalitarian & also not a democracy? Are people actually asking for what was happening in astern Europe or something else?

In Germany the left leaning parties want that shit. It sucks. They side with Russia atm as well and a lot of them just have this odd nostalgia for the time

not to defend them, but capitalism is not doing very good recently, so that might give them points

Yes, I know. I'm not a fan of that myself.

But the idea that current day Russia has it better is insane. The Propaganda has survived through 30 years of non existence

There is a difference between Russia, communism and an authoritarian/totalitarian regime.

Communism is not necessarily authoritarian or totalitarian.
