That's the thing about American Commies ... they all did/do well here and still hate our system. Communism doesn't work, has never worked, and the ONLY answer these types will say, is because it's not been led by the " right people "; meaning themselves.
When the Trotskyites fought with the Stalinist and the Stalinist later felt " betrayed " by Kruschev, it all stilled boild down to the who was running it all. They could never admit that their system didn't and doesn't work. They are the " TRUE BELIEVERS "; brainwashed, blinkered, braindead, and clueless.
It once again comes down to power.Who has it and who wants it.If only they were in charge the communist dream would work.Evidence to the contrary isn't important.
