It's a pathetic attempt to rile the old people who remember the cold war propaganda against communism and socialism. While young people are like "So what?"
Yeah sadly that doesnt work here in eastern europe because communism and even social democratism(what this actually is) is associated with the ussr which was a truly horrible regime.
Eastern Europeans are some of the most gullible people on earth. Stalin never even claimed that the USSR had achieved communism, yet somehow every grandma in his "state socialist" empire thinks full communism was reached and the state withered away like Marx predicted. They believe lies he never even told.
I understand that's the power of propaganda, but damn... It's been 40 years and most of them never bothered to sit down and learn what a communism is. I can't imagine being that willfully ignorant.
I have some trump supporting neighbors I'd like to introduce you to.
