Right. You've got it.
The economic system means nothing for the nostalgia to work. The nostalgia is not for socialism. It was for anything else.
Anything. Not socialism specifically. Anything else.
So why lean so hard on a misunderstanding of those surveys you admit yourself is wrong?

Regretting the fall of the USSR and stating that they live worse lives economically than under socialism doesn't make them all fascists. There's a collective yearning for a time when life *was* better, that doesn't make every one of them fascist, and the fact that fascists try to take advantage of this fact to gain power does not mean that socialism was secretly worse. I demonstrated numerous ways how the dissolution of socialism was disastrous to back this up, which you called "fangirling" (which itself is misogynistic and misgendering) and unrelated.
