it's not that different in latin europe either, i dunno who runs the commies around here but they are not popular lately, south-west europe has massively turned against socialism
the thing is, they are so proudly red they even put the soviet hammer and sickle on their advertising, the raised fist, or it's the classic rose... and iirc, the rose is an emblem of secret societies for hundreds of years
socialism is a scam that really needs to die, the durability of it is quite amazing considering it always leads to breadlines and disappearances
