Oh, here we go.
Well, that wasn't communism. People always make a mistake presuming that Russia had Communism. That is wrong - we had a Militaristic Tyrannic Dictatorship; the government used the word Communism instead of that long combination of words. If you read Engels and Marx - you will understand what i mean. they never talked about killing their own. Stalin killed millions of Russian people! Was that Communism?
In any case - Communism is really close to Utopian society - it is too... what's the word i'm looking for... Too good to be true. People are not ready for it, and will never be probably.

A man after my own heart.

Communism has yet to truly exist as the radical theorists described it, at least on a large scale. One could argue that it exists on a small scale in communalist sects, but none of the countries that we describe as socialist or communist are truly that, or at least as described by Marx and Engels.

Amen to that! rolleyes.gif
You are my best body now!
We should create a Communistic society all by ourselves!

Seriously, though, you are right. i agree.
Unfortunately, this topic isn't for our puny mortal minds. Philosophers of all eras twisted their minds in order to come up with a perfect society - be it Utopia, Communism, or Tibetan Sexual Order of 12 Monkeys. They failed... Or rather people failed to implement those dreams into reality. Let's face it - we are a bunch of aggressive, selfish, baboons! That's the sad truth.
