Funny self own on any anti-Communist devs that put this in, the Soviet Union abandoned Communism in the 1990s. Even killed off the true believers, they just kept the name.
E: This wiki entry is super reactionary, dont read past the first paragraph.
You can tell that wiki entry was written by an anti communist. A brainworm wriggled out of my phone and is currently trying to crawl into my eye.
It's always Polish writers with an adolescent knowledge of social studies who try to break the fourth wall and explain why communism is wrong in lore for media that otherwise barely relates to communism
I don't know how, but that was deliberate. The US and EU used the trade union "Solidarity" as a wedge to draw working class people away from the PZPR (Poland's communist party).
It didn't help that Poland's communist leadership wasn't the best, but also they were under a lot of pressure they couldn't resist. They didn't really have the wealth or manpower compared to other socialist states. Poland was one of the first successful test subjects for how to uproot leftism using neoliberalism and it scrambled the Polish population's brains I guess.
Its always funny how much of that bad leadership came from people who wanted to show off their Polish nationalism bona fides. Like it was specifically the ones who wanted to first show they are nothing like the government Stalin helped form, and then wanted to show they are nothing like the Khrushchevite supported government and they will go their own path.
Each era was a nationalistic response to the previous one
