I never considered it a democracy. It’s one-party system with two parties, what can be democratic about it? Smoke and mirrors.

My point is that the polls mentioned in the wiki seem to not be mentioning socio-economic systems, but the USSR country and it’s culture, as well as it’s dissolution (which was handled like shit in most of the countries AFAIK).

ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

That’s not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?

The article seems to be missing polling history from countries that don’t support it’s thesis, like Poland.

You might want to check out wikipedia.

That’s literally alternative medicine defined as per well, science. And you being silly doesn’t take from it. In the past, viruses were considered alternative medicine (quackery even), until they were proven to exist and work as in theory.

If you hit someone with a stick and that person gets cured of cold, it’s alternative medicine (you suspect there’s correlation or causation, and repeating the treatment during other incidents tends to have similar effect, i.e. when you hit more people they also get cured). When it’s proven that there’s causation between your action and the cure, then it’s medicine.

I’m not sure what are you trying to tell me.

That you agree with me that “alternative medicine = not proven to work, but I’m wrong somehow”?

That wiki article is very biased.

It also has problems distinguishing pseudo medicine (proven not to work) from alternative medicine (not conclusively proved or disproved).
