Perhaps I’m making a generalization, but from what I hear these people were the most comfortable with Western ideas and bourgeoisie domination. Is this true, because the Imperial Core has awful lies about the USSR and I’d like to know more about the USSR accurately, even the Westernmost areas. I might as well toss GDR in as well, basically just lmk about Western USSR bc I have literally little to zero knowledge of the policy or differentiations of these SSRs, thanks

    This article is more specific to Romania but gives a good historical lens on the divisions in the socialist pact.

      Thanks for the read-up. What a tragedy, his “realpolitik” alliances only got him assassinated in the end. Just how did all of this happen at the same time in 1989? Also, the more I read about these countries that fell to reactionaries, the more I realize how much of a miracle the survival of Cuba, DPRK, China, Vietnam and Laos is. The advantage we have today, as 21st century communists, is that we can learn from all the errors and mistakes of the 20th century, as well as the successes of surviving AES countries and experiences of new socialist and anti-imperialist projects.
