The truth is post-communist movement in Eastern Europe was tainted by Clinton-style liberal corruption. After decades of big government US advisors who got unlimited influence there had to teach misleaded population free enterprise and other real American values but they taught them Hollywood, junk food and gay rights instead. A lot of people are disappointed to a point of turning back to commies they hated a decade ago.
Europeans are looking to communists and socialists for the same reason the US did in 2008: people had lost hope in the alternative.
If the Toon had anything to do with it, it would be Harvard socialist economics. EUSSR demands didn't help.
Many in Czech Republic were crying at being forced into EUSSR. Their dreams were of U.S. Constitution.
