After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Francis Fukuyama published an article in which he argued that the confrontation between the two systems ended with the victory of the market and democracy. But the first clouds appeared on the horizon very quickly. First in the Middle East and Africa, in countries where they had recently built socialism, powerful Islamist movements suddenly appeared; then in Latin America, elections - without any subsidies from the USSR from now on - began to be won by Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales; then all the CIS countries, except the Baltic countries and Ukraine, ceased to be democracies. But the biggest problem began when the left began to dominate the media, universities, and the electoral field of the Greater West. The Greater West had already faced this problem in the 1930s, when leftist thought leaders admired the Soviet experiment. The Greater West also faced this problem in 1968 during the student riots, when the first young generation, who grew up after the war in an environment of unprecedented freedom and prosperity, suddenly rebelled against this bourgeois freedom with the words that this freedom is actually slavery. It is difficult to formulate what the rebels wanted, because the roots of the rebellion lay not in politics, but in physiology. The riots of the 1960s were a typical example of a “youth bubble” and a revolt of prosperous and well-fed children against their fathers. Their main feature was infantility. The easiest way would be to say that these students were rebelling for the right to remain children forever. It was the generation of rebels of 1968 that grew up, entered universities and began to establish an increasingly leftist atmosphere there. However, until 1991, irrational leftist narratives were faced with a simple question of survival. If in the 1980s the West had fulfilled all the demands of peace fighters, the USSR would have simply swept it off the face of the earth. With the enemy gone, a process of convergence began. With amazing speed, several new narratives emerged and began to develop on the topic of why the Great West is bad.
