re: Fun with names
Ah, the "it wasn't REAL communism" excuse. Haven't heard that one in a while.
Don't care if it was "real" communism or not. Every single society--from many backgrounds, widely varied cultures, and widely varied histories--that has followed Marx has ended up as a hellhole. At some point, it should be apparent to the dimmest brain that this result is inherent in the concept, and not just some "corruption" of an otherwise workable theory.
