Somewhat? It went all the way from shit hole to super wealthy in 30 years.
You’re ignoring the hundreds of millions of Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Moldovan, Yugoslav, Hungarian… lives who went to shit after socialism was dissolved.
Soviet union did both a shit job at transitioning to capitalism, and has one of the most propaganda shaped societies in the world. Ukraine also struggles with fucking war with Russia right now.
There’s a research around communism nostalgia, and in countries that did transformation correctly, it isn’t really a thing.
I just spat my coffee at screen. Have you even read about holdomor?
If you had sister nation with war crime list like this you wouldn’t need enemies. You’d have all the war crimes and abuse in great abundance for life.
Part of the population collapse is migration. Millions of Ukrainians traveled to work in Poland even before the war. I imagine it was even bigger number if you count all other migration destinations.
Is the communism that you voted out the Marxist-Leninist, “people’s revolution turned authoritarian state” kind? I’d get rid of that shit, too.
There are lots of other stands of anti-capitalism (eg, democratic socialism, anarchism) that are probably worth exploring. Even if we stick with capitalism but soften it with socialist policies, that’s still way better than the minimally regulated capitalism we have in the US.
pretty funny how nearly all pro-capitalist notion comes down to “I’m privileged enough to be happy with the status quo”
Considering communism was voted out in fair elections here and noone wants it back, your argument is invalid.
Sorry about your capitalism brainwashing.
Sorry for moving from utter poverty to powerhouse economy rivaling UK. That wasn’t the plan.

Technically the “current war” started in like 2016 with Crimea being conquered by hyper aggressive military expansionist dictatorship: Russia.
