    Well, it’s not like they are seperste things now, are they. The communist regime was able to hold power by keeping people poor, state propaganda, corruption, deportation, spying on everyone, prevent anyone from escaping their borders, etc. All aspects of a dictatorship. All intertwined into what the USSR was. It’s not like it’s communism was completely disconnected from the regime. So that’s why I bring it up. The same happens in the DPRK, China, Cuba. Show me a working communist state where there’s no dictatorial regime. Communism only works when everyone agrees to it, so it only works on small scales like communities where people choose to live.

    The theory works, but didn’t calculate in the human factor.

    I believe a socialist state is the only sollution to a proper working society but not in the form of communism. It only survived on a large scale under strict dictatorial regimes.
