>Perhaps today’s technological and political entrepreneurs, like their socialist predecessors, may find out that a new generation raised in conditions of financial crashes, pandemics, and political deadlock may draw different ideological conclusions to what the new status quo intends.

What a weird take, the generation that lived after the end of communism saw everything get worse year after year.

It's just that the majority of us left.

Out of six first cousins born between 1983 and 2003 one is still in Bulgaria because she can make a living from the farmland that we were all meant to inherit and is keeping an eye on the ageing relatives that are still there.

The rest of us aren't there and don't intend to return for the next 40 years.

We all view socialism very favourably and our parents as idiots who killed the golden goose expecting golden chicken nuggets till the end of time.

The last paragraph caught me by surprise, most eastern European expats I know are quite anti-socialist.

Of course I vote against socialism in the West, I'm here to make money, the less taxes the more money.

I can't tell where there might be irony here -

>We all view socialism very favourably and our parents as idiots who killed the golden goose expecting golden chicken nuggets till the end of time.

vs.

>Of course I vote against socialism in the West, I'm here to make money, the less taxes the more money.

Can you describe how these two statements can be rationalized into a cohesive position?

A vegan cattle rancher doesn't want everyone to be vegan.

So I guess you see socialism not necessarily as a good way to run a society but rather as a good way for your relatives to have a good/comfortable life?

I don't want to be rich in a socialist county. Since I'm rich here I don't want it to be a socialist county.
