Look up some stats. More people that lived during the stable years miss it compared to the economic unrest they face now.
Just looked it up, in every country in Europe that was previously Communist / Socialist, over 80% of the population believes democracy and capitalism is the future and will be good for everyone. With the one notable exception being Russia, where it's only 65%.
Socialism and Communism are shit political and economic systems that never work in practice.
