people can't grasp the concept of scale. while communism might seem like a good idea, it can only work in a bounded context — family / small community. you can't scale a family. please, for the love of anything that is dear to you, stop people from pushing communism on a large scale. it just doesn't work. we got rid of it 30 years ago and the bad smell still lingers.

50+ East Europeans who lived under both systems tend to vote for communist parties nowadays, while <50 East Europeans who lived under only capitalism say communism was terrible. https://dspace.cuni.cz/bitstream/handle/20.500.11956/151322/120406107.pdf?sequence=1

i skimmed the pdf you linked, but i couldn't find support for your claim anywhere. explicitly communist parties don't make it into parliament here so i'm wondering what you mean by that.

They don’t want to accept that our only communism experience was a fail because of many reasons including totalitarianism And that the authoritarian governments and neoliberalism that they promote is actually failing … in addition to be totally unfair and a complete non sens for human beings …

That’s because some clever communists rebranded the term to “post-modernism” and made it a new religion. This is not the same kind of communism we got rid of 35 years ago. It got upgraded and it took them 70 years to do it on such scale. Marx → Frankfurt School → COMINTERN → UN/WEF/EU
