None of the lower countries had communism.
You can argue if they had sunshine scenario communism all day, but they certainly was under the oppressive thumb of USSR.
I didn't say anything about communism being good or bad there, just that none of those countries ever lived under communism.
True Communism is impossible to sustain in the real world. it requires someone unimpeachable at its head. It affords too much power and no accountability to those in charge. Even if it were to start out well, sooner or later corruption would seep in. Communism is impossible while human greed exists
There would be no one "in charge". Communism and anarchy go hand in hand.
This is the lie that we have been fed all of our lives under capitalism. It's so ingrained in us that some of us can't even imagine a world of helping each other thrive instead of exploiting each other.
And yet, whenever communism is tried, a tyrant rises to the top.
...which means that it isn't communism. Come on, try to keep up.
Exactly, Which brings us back to my initial point... True communism is impossible... try to keep up...
You didn't say true communism is impossible, you said true communism is impossible to sustain. Why are you moving the goalpost instead of just taking the L? Lol
