How do Russians feel that Communism/Socialism will forever be associated with them and their country? The Soviet Union was the longest lasting communist country in the world. It had a lasting impact on the world, especially on Eastern Europe. Whenever people think of Communists or Communism they always think of Russians first. I mean, I know that the USSR was the first communist country ever, but I'm still find it weird that Communism is always associated with Russia and vice versa. Why is that? Why are Russians so proud of their communist past?

(No hate to antinatalists or antinatalism btw) Something I've been wondering about most Antinatalists is why do they barely/rarely promote their philosophy in places in Africa, the Middle East, or South Asia— places with absurdly high birth rates (and even higher infant mortality rates) but the West is where they usually promote their antinatalism. Why is that? Europe used to make up more than 20% of the world's total population in the early 20th century. Now they make up just 8% of the world's population this century, yet antinatalism is still promoted throughout the West. Meanwhile Africa's total population makes up 18% of the world population, & South Asia's total population makes up around 25% of the world population. Both regions have very demographics and birth rates, but Anti-natalism is barely promoted within those regions. Why? Are they just less accepting or tolerant of the philosophy?
