People who argue life was better under the Soviets and want to return to it are no different from those who want to return to the confederacy.

Capitalist hegemony is just as oppressive, unless you're valuing the rights of property owners above all others.

The fallout from the collapse and looting was worse than any supposed oppression anyways. In my lifetime factories went from running and employing people to shut down and their assets liquidated while any government supports disappear.

A minority of people profited greatly from that situation while others were forced either weather the storm (spoiler, many died) or to try and emigrate and find tenuous employment in often terrible conditions.

The capitalist slavedrivers won, stop trying to pretend that you're also the good guys.
