They “believe in it” because they have never lived under it. I suggest they go to Poland or Hungary and talk to some people who remember life during the communist era.

Funny you should mention that. When I lived in Canada, we had some friends who had emigrated from Hungary. They, in turn, had friends who emigrated from communist Hungary, and turned around and gone back to Hungary.

They left because of the fear of losing one’s job, not finding another job, and starving to death. Compared to guaranteed employment in Hungary, the notion of being out of income was so worrisome for them, they gave up their freedom for security.

It all stems, I suppose, from how one is raised to see oneself and the world. Which makes the eternal infantilizing of our modern snowflakes bode so ill for their future.
