weird, I'm constantly told by Americans that communism is good just hasn't been done right. Yet, anyone I ask who has lived through it seems to not like it. I'm sure they are wrong, though.

Perhaps you have a small sample. My mother and her parents, for example, believe that they lived much better in the USSR. And there are quite a lot of such people. The products variety was lower than now, but there was a guaranteed job after free education and a free apartment for your family after a few years of work.
