    Yeah, many of the post-socialist states are in rough shape thanks to the imperial core’s shock therapy plundering of them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia_for_the_Soviet_Union#Polling_history

    In 2017, another poll conducted by Pew Research Center found that 69% of Russians, 54% of Belarusians, 70% of Moldovans and 79% of Armenians claimed that the breakup of the Soviet Union was a bad thing for their country. With the exception of Estonia, the percentage of people who agreed with the statement was higher amongst people aged 35 or over. 57% of Georgians and 58% of Russians also said that Joseph Stalin played a very/mostly positive role in history.

    Meanwhile in still-socialist states:

    • Newsweek: Americans Can Now Expect to Live Three Years Less than Cubans
    • Reuters, 2018: China overtakes U.S. for healthy lifespan: WHO data
    • United Nations, 2019: Helping 800 Million People Escape Poverty Was Greatest Such Effort in History, Says Secretary-General, on Seventieth Anniversary of China’s Founding
    • The Economist, 2021: At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low For most men in China the age is 60, much lower than the average of 64.2 in the OECD, a club mostly of rich countries. For female civil servants the age is 55; for blue-collar women it is 50.
