Why does Eastern Europe have different values than the western europe?
Poverty and memory of communismAlso a lot of young people move out of these countries for better opportunities, sp the people who remain have statistically skewed views
>>16549219Most Russians and a large part of Serbs are very pro-communist, and neo-pagans are memes (unfortunately). Youth in big cities are often woke in each of these countries including even Muslim. Eastern Europe is not really conservative.
Geographical and political insulation from the Anglosphere.
>>16549219The endless tundras make men apathetic.
>>16549219This is the reason.
>>16549273I wonder if the communist partisans took over Northern Italy after the war would it have looked like this.
>>16549285Or what if Ersnt Thalmann won the '33 elections in Germany, would the world look the same?
>>16549285Probably. The Warsaw Pact wasn't as much an association of European communists as it was Soviet hegemony and imperialism extending west. They really couldn't extend that power into Italy more than they could into Yugoslavia, not because of a strong leader like Tito fucking their shit up but because the northern Italians would be too diffuse to really offer a strong guy to center their policy around. And even within the Warsaw Pact countries the Soviet Union wasn't very beloved. I think you'd see Eurocommunism emerge a decade quicker, which also means that it's not as associated with baby boomers.
>>16549330Yeah so there's no way Northern Italy ends up under the Iron Curtain in any way, or otherwise being like East Germany - they're probably going to be Eurocommunist fairly early on.
>>16549219>all of eastern europe is the balkansRetard.
>>16549352Yes, East Germany was an exception to most of the rules of second world countries, even the ones that had above average brutality and corruption like Romania. They kept it going out of a desire to obey the Soviets absolutely and show that they could follow exactly what they asked. The Italians wouldn't ever do that.This Turin republic would likely form an unaligned axis with Yugoslavia and possibly Cuba as well, of countries that want to be outwardly socialist but not fall into the Soviet or Chinese (or Hoxha) traps of repression. The real problem is that southern Italy would be worse off than Greece (which did well under the juntas and king) or Spain (Franco's legacy remains more complicated than neo-Falangists or Spanish leftists want to admit). There really is no precedent for just how bad it would be.
>>16549219The environment you grow up in, leaves it's mark. Things and ideologies you take for "normal".Being a millenial from eastern block, I still have vague memories of Soviet Union and how I was always taught to "this is not our government" and not to believe anything they say. The ability to see through bs is something younger generation seems to lack and is easily swindled in to believing obious bs.
