What he’s talking about is “pure” communism, the kind that Commies say is “the way it’s supposed to work”.
Except that it never does.
Oh sure, it all starts with the Ooh’s and Ahhs, then comes the inevitable running, and the screaming...
It never does because the upper leaders, the innder party, know that 1) it is impossible to have pure communism as its been defined, and 2) therefore thy will always be in a state of socialism, that aways requires a guiding, controlling, all powerful inner party, forever
Its just their way of staying in power and luxury, the inner party is the oligarchy that falsely claims to keeppushing for “progress” to communism, but its a total lie
It looks great on paper, but there's these pesky little things called Human Nature...and Natural Law.
Except that it never does.
You are correct sir. If I recall correctly, it was Reagan, and maybe others too, who said this is destined for the ash heap of history.
The only things communism EVER produces, is hunger, refugees and dead bodies.
