There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.
Oh here we go with "That wasn't real communism!" as if any other communist state on this planet is any different.
Why do we put so much stock into the handful of failed communist experiments but not the capitalistic societies that have turned autocratic?
There are very few examples of Communism put into practice at a large scale.
