Nope. End-of-socialism romantics was about the realisation that it _could NOT have been_ but we_can make it better_, and the nostaligia is about the 10 years (hell of a time) that things got worse. One step forward, two steps back, sort of (and twist and shout). Now it's just a question of survival (individual, mostly); coping with another defeat and fear and egoism and scatteredness, you name it. CyberYugo hasn't got launched yet, but there are already networks building up. I *am not* an optimist enough to think it will change anything on a macro-scale, but it might make some waves. It's not about cyber-exhibitionism (imo).
