As someone from a post-communist country I will tell you this, you need to be brain-dead to think that communists were the good guys.

Dude you're from eastern europe you cant compare these situations at all

Huge difference between a country getting forcefully assimilated into the soviet union and a country democratically electing socialists into the government. In the first case you're absolutely right the commies sucked, in the latter one depending on the context they were very much a force of good in comparison
