Tell me about it.

The delightful Soviet aesthetics of the Cold War are gone, and every modern commie thing looks exactly the same as capitalist design styles, with hammers and sickles badly bolted on and maybe a coat of red paint... and the powerful united front that was the Warsaw Pact is gone, leaving scattered small AES states that are far from achieving anything close to communism and not really able to rebuild such an organisation. Yeah, being a socialist nowadays sucks. Everything looks and feels terrible, as the legacy of the Soviet Union slowly crumbles and dies.
