A reliable measurement that I found is the change of side by victims of Communism from mainland China. My abusive ableist family who fled Mainland China to continue their toxic authoritarian practices from the warlord rule had stopped slandering the Chinese Communist government a decade ago. They are now rooting for the mainland Chinese government with the claim that communism is bad but that Communist government is good. My family still wants to avoid Mainland China due to fear of punishment and overpopulation problem.
