I would be in Warsaw and they would fly all the nice red flags trying to be Moscow's top dog
Some were trying, indeed, some other were just conformists or people completely unaware of politics nor interested in it, but most people were simply forced to it, because every factory and school had presence lists checked, and who didn't appear at the parade would face annoying consequences, at work or at school. (That's why for example North Koreans have always almost 100% frequency at their elections).
There was an amount of Polish white-red flags and commie red flags, they were handed to you by the school principal, and everybody was praying to avoid them, especially those red. If you got one, you were trying to bully some teacher's pets into taking over from you, or worst case to exchange it for a white-red flag
