There have been documented increase in unhappiness amongst citizens whose countries left the Soviet bloc / communist regimes bloc but whether these were permanent remains to be seen.
No doubt the victims of Stalin, the gulags, the Stasi, the KGB, Soviet pogroms, the Khmer Rouge, Che Guevara, the Castro dynasty, Vietnam, North Korea, Bulgaria, the East German NKVD, Mao, Romania, the Ethiopean Red Terror and all the rest were not surveyed.
That may be because people do not like change and period of transition or adjustment often entails uncertainty and risk.
Grass is always greener on the other side as they say.
It would be great if all the labour party supporters could just emigrate and go and live in Russia or China saving us all from their utopian values.
