Look, I am not claiming that everything was bad about the soviet states. Those surveys are probably influenced by nostalgia and the typical rose-tinted glasses look back on your own history, but even if they aren't... you can't turn back time and a new authoritarian socialist state would not be the same as those found in the past.

Yeah, must be nostalgia for things like guaranteed food, housing, healthcare, education, and retirement. Old people in particular are really nostalgic for the times when they didn't have to scavenge for food in the garbage and live under bridges. I just love how you just keep bleating about authoritarianism like a broken record. You literally live in an authoritarian capitalist state that's destroying our planet while exploiting and murdering countless people across the globe to provide you with your quality of life. People like you are responsible for perpetuating the imperialist nightmare that's western civilization. The blood of the world is on your hands.
