Hey, an open commie couldn’t go “dis not be communism. Dis be capitawism’s fawlt!” when his plans don’t work out.
Heh.
One already did.
Remember, in the Soviet Union Lenin and Stalin established what they called “state capitalism”, not communism. When examples of the Soviet Union’s dysfunctions manifested during the cold war, prominent leftists like J.K. Galbraith, Robert Heilbroner, and Michael harrington would dismiss the USSR as being yet another rendition of capitalism.
