      Yeah because their ideology was utterly false and just a facade for privatization. The lives of the working class in the west immediately started going down hill at the same time that old soviet union they hated so much did.

      Also I guess they genuinely thought communism wouldn’t work? Cause they forgot about several other parts of the world when they “won” that cold war.
