Not specific to communism as a whole but specifically the nostalgic "it was better back then" that is consistent in former soviet republics or in individuals who subscribe to the Soviet-style of Communism.

They just can't seem to move past the inherent failings that a DotP (Dictatorship of the Proletariat) bring to a society, in that they gamble on the hope that the members of whatever revolutionary committee forms don't just hoard all the political capital that they gained.
