A disturbing amount of people born after the dissolution of Soviet Union tend to be enthusiastic about communism.

Young people are awesome in many ways, but they're capable of being incredibly dumb at the same time. Not unlike the previous generations, I guess.

It's disingenuous to assume the Soviet Union is representative of communism or even the Western communist movement at the time or afterwards. It would be similar to pointing to the unique horrors of the United States history and claiming therefore all those supporting capitalism are disturbing.
