This claim is **false** and relies on broad generalizations without evidence. Here’s why:

There is no credible data showing that all Western countries are in decline or that former Eastern Bloc countries are universally "better" to live in. Quality of life indices (such as the UN’s Human Development Index, OECD Better Life Index, and Eurostat reports) consistently rank most Western European countries higher in terms of healthcare, education, income, and personal freedom. While some Eastern European countries have made significant progress since the fall of communism, none are "immune" to political propaganda—public opinion surveys (e.g., Pew Research, Eurobarometer) show mixed views on communism, with many in the region still critical of their communist past.

As for the claim that Westerners will "learn about the benefits of a Politburo and communism," there is no evidence of a significant rise in support for Marxist or communist governance in Western countries. Surveys and election results show that mainstream political preferences in the West remain centered on democracy and market economies, with only small, fringe groups advocating for radical alternatives.

You can verify these points by checking:

- The **Human Development Index** (UNDP) for quality of life rankings.

- **Eurobarometer** or **Pew Research Center** for public opinion data on communism and governance.

- **OECD Better Life Index** for comparative living standards.
