It doesn't look like the current crop of Poles like communism very much. In fact, none of the people who lived through communism seem to like it very much. Maybe you would be better off defecting to North Korea or China so that they can take care of you, since you don't seem to want to do it for yourself.

Communism is most popular in nations which tried it once. Nations that aren't Communist anymore have elections in which Communist and Socialist parties consistently get a majority of votes. Ukraine's Communist party got 40% of the vote in 1999. The German Communist Party is most popular in former East Germany.

Even then, nations such as Poland, the Baltic states, and Central Europe have welfare systems which are just as generous as under Communism.
