There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.

It's like saying democracy sucks because look at states like Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo and German Democratic Republic.

When people proclaim to be something doesn't make it true.
