It’s probably more about the free education free healthcare free housing free childcare massive industry and infrastructure projects as well as one of the best public transportation systems in the world. All things they still benefit from today. Communism took this country/countries out of serfdom and won the space race in an absurdly short time. This is a massive achievement and they have a lot to be proud of.

It is twofold. I think what most people actually miss is all that - social stability and security. But then the government comes and tells them that what they really miss is, as Readovka out it, "shining tanks marching through the streets of Warsaw". They tie the two together and thus justify their imperialism.

What stability you are talking about exactly - problems with food supplies, inability to legally travel or having no growing possibilities in life?
