There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.

No communism, but socialism yes.

And yes, I am from east Europe

To be honest, I’ve been using Lemmy for a week now, and I’m kind of concerned with all the communism stuff around here.

McCarthy propaganda go brrrr

There is no such thing as pure capitalism.

As a someone whose country belonged to the western bloc, I can relate xD

Communism isn’t the issue the same way Capitalism isn’t the issue, the issue is rich people abusing working class and poor people. Removing democracy from these systems just make them absolutely horrid in the long run. Also China isn’t communist it’s state capitalist dictatorship.
