It's not true that if you went to those countries, that everyone would say communism is evil. Obviously, if it is still popular enough to have large representation in their governments, there is a significant portion of the population who do not think it is evil.
My mother was an immigrant from Poland, and my father from Croatia, so don't think I don't understand that there were bad things that happened, but much of what you know is western propaganda as well. One of my best friends is from Poland and even he admits that communism was not as bad as people here made it out to be.
I also have a friend who is Ukrainian and tells me about how many farmers in the Ukraine are now living in poverty since the country entered the free market world.
