NATO viewed favorably across NATO states; Large Shares See Russia and Putin in Negative Light, While Views of Zelenskyy More Mixed

There is no left or right in these NATO countries. Left is just identity politics over LGBT which rarely address their issues and use them as baits for older and conservative people to divide and conquer the masses so that they can say yes to NATOfied militaristic adventures. In the West, one part wants war with Russia first, another part wants war with China

The fine for 2nd child was absolutely there but no need to have existential crisis because of that. In democratic India, Indira gandhi wanted to do vasectomy for all males who had 2 children in 1970s only. At that time officials and people had little education and they did vasectomy of unmarried people. It was a lot. We, in the 3rd world were told by white Western libs that our problem is that we have huge birth rate and huge unemployment. Little these west. Libs cared about long time effects on the world for which they were suggesting.

Rule, Come at me L*bs (Part 2.)

These baltic states were just vassals of Germany and once were part of Russian empire till 1918 when Lenin signed the Brest treaty and gave up a chunk of lands to German protection. Western Ukraine was also taken away by Poland I guess. So in Molotov pact they just reversed it with some assurance that USSR will not attack if Nazi Germany attacks Poland . I remember I didn't know that baltic States were under Russian empire until I watched an old video of Putin angrily replying this to a Latvian journo in early 2000s. Why Baltics have strong Nazi memories is due to that only, they were nazified with German influence.

I think in the former socialist societies there was this lack of abundance of consumer goods that annoyed the middle class. I mean yeah you can have have social securities but without having an abundance of goods and snacks 😜 , it's kinda boring. Take for example in China, there is abundance of consumer goods, products and snacks...

anti-communists in cuba

Bro our commie party ruled for 34 years democratically with the help of numerous organizations and massive unions. After all these years when it lost the 2011 election, people hate the commie party the most. 1st , a socialist country or a state doesn't mean everyone is mentally socialist. A sizeable population will be anti communist it is just how human brains are wired into. There are only fewer people who really understand the theory of socialism and mostly the applied socialism. The lower strata of population supports any particular party due to numerous reasons, if they see their wages and particular field is not respected they ditch the government or the party. Similarly in Cuba, bourgeois related jobs like hookers, prostitution in Havana was banned, music was made revolutionary and private jobs were made into public one. Some liked the luxurious life in the Batista era.... But many loved the revolutionary consciousness of Fidel era.. That's all. Take for example, Ana de Armas loves cuba and she is in touch with her family while the rapper Pitbull hates it.
