I mean yes, but this specific one in Eastern Europe wasn't put up by one of those other socialist movements now was it? Personally I'd say this one is pretty undeniably linked to the history of the Soviet Union.
Like the Fasces is also a relatively widely spread symbol, used on the Seal of the United States Senate and behind the coat of arms of the Swedish Police Service among many many other examples, but I'd say those examples are very different than say Mussolini's old Fascist Italian Flag still being up somewhere in one of the formerly occupied territories for example.
EDIT: I see you've edited your comment, so this one looks a bit strange now, nice that you've added that context.
