That's understandable. By the way in my opinion much of the anti-sentiment towards communism in Polish society today comes from all the bad stuff the PRL government did so maybe if that didn't happen the outlook on it today would be different. For example as a strong free speech advocate I think it's a shame that today in Poland "promoting communism" is prohibited by law (it's not even a normal legislation but it's enshrined in the constitution). I personally think that shouldn't be the case.

That's fair, and as you point out the reaction against the socialist system is being used more for political gain by the Polish ruling class. There are other Polish users on this site, so I won't pretend to be an expert on the PRL, but I do think you can seek out their perspectives as well if you'd like, though I'm sure you have other ways to do so given that you're Polish yourself.
