    As others mentioned, the primary reason is that people are subjected to propaganda their whole lives. I grew up in USSR and it’s both hilarious and depressing to hear what people in the West think life there was like.

    Having lived experience it’s easier for me to debunk this stuff when I start hearing this nonsense, however even that isn’t convincing a lot of the time. I find Anarchists in particular have the most hostility towards USSR because the concept impinges on their conception of freedom.
