American History doesn’t exactly align with the rest of the world’s history.
We just kinda retcon it to make it fit the capitalist agenda.
When I went to live in a formerly communist country I got warned beforehand that the people there hate their communist past but I met mostly people who were super nostalgic about it.
it can be both. you can have people who miss the security but also hate communism. you cant just expect them to be consistent or to make sense.
The people there didn’t hate communism though, it was western liberals who warned me that they would.
I am from Austria, “not everything was bad under hitler” was said a LOT by the older generations.
I don’t think a single individual viewpoint is giving a great picture about the overall situation of a country.
I also don’t see why people think they have to pick countries or ideologies like sportsteams. Just look at it with an open mind and take the good parts as inspiration and the bad parts as a warning.
