None of the lower countries had communism.

You can argue if they had sunshine scenario communism all day, but they certainly was under the oppressive thumb of USSR.

I didn't say anything about communism being good or bad there, just that none of those countries ever lived under communism.

@Duke_Nukem_1990 @BeigeAgenda, correct, the key is the sovereignty of the people, not that of a single person or a small elite, this would reduce the communist system to a mere fascist dictatorship just as rotten as capitalism called democracy and where banks and multinationals dictate the rules, thereby it is not a democracy.
