Sure, but there’s definitely some auto-chauvinism going on among people of formerly socialist nations in Europe, especially ‘progressive’ liberals. I often heard people say that we here are culturally backwards because of our inherent cultural traits like dishonesty and laziness, often contrasting that to for example the honest hardworking Germans. Sometimes this supposed backwardness is also blamed on socialism.
It’s as sad and pathetic as it sounds but it’s a real thing I’ve experienced quite often.
