    Hmmm, maybe there is a disconnect with the english audience but the Belarussian communist(active militant), Albert Santin, that I follow do consider themselves the last european socialist country. He even goes way beyond to explain Belarus to the spanish speaking audience in his youtube channel.

    They have plenty of interviews with Marxists from Latin America and Spain. He also has his X account where he explains in detail how DOTP works there -> https://xcancel.com/albersantin/status/1947288122326233327#m

        Oh yeah, you are right about that and it is also true for people in China and Cuba(I know some examples here too). For example, in China when the RedNote app become popular, there really was plenty of moment where the Chinese liberals met the Americans and understood that what their own gov’t told them about America was true. There was a very famous meme about that encounter.
