Oh, that's great, because now you are the guy saying "that's not communism" instead of the people attacking capitalism. Which is great because I think exactly the same!
See, East Germany or the USSR also weren't communist, because there were no democratic elections (contrary to communist ideals), independent courts (contrary to communist ideals), free and independent media (contrary to communist ideals) or opposition parties (contrary to communist ideals).
It's almost as if all the "communist" countries you know were not communist at all, but authoritarian.
You know there were socialist/communist success stories, right? But they were always couped and destroyed by conservatives. Noteworthy examples were the Paris Commune or the communist regions during the Occupation of the Ruhr, who resisted the military occupation of the Ruhr region of Germany by France and Belgium.
Are you mixing me up with someone else? That was my first comment in this entire thread so that's a lot of assumptions to throw on me. Nowhere did I say there weren't socialist/communist success stories. The person I replied to specifically singled out China as an example of a communist success, all I pointed out is that they're neither communist nor successful.
Oh, sorry. My mistake. Didn't mean to attack a wrong person.
