Hey listen, although communism killed 100,000,000+ people last century, this is a totally new century.

If we could only get the right people running it, communism would like totally work for everybody and stuff.

Besides, if communism ever goes totally out of style, I'll have to throw out three drawers of Che t-shirts.

Yeah, I went to a Milton conference in the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin wall and the breakup of the Soviet Union, and all the Marxist types were in mourning.

When asked about this, one colleague (whom I actually rather like) said that the problem was that Russia had its revolution TOO SOON. They should have waited for the rise of capitalism before staging their revolution. You can't have a proper Communist revolution until you have a proper capitalist state with an appropriate number of oppressed proletariat.

So, she said, Russia has to build a real capitalist system and maybe a hundred years from now they can have a second revolution, and this time do it right, having gone through all the proper scientific stages in the proper historical order.

Good point. Communism has only murdered once in the 21st century - Bill Maher's career.
