It's been at least a century since the idea of Communism came about and people sought to try it out; yet in all that time it's worked out exactly 0 times. Every nation that's tried it has had things like mass economic collapse or mass murder happen within its borders. I can't think of a single nation that didn't have some horrible atrocity happen as well as manage to even maintain the standard of living (nevermind improving it). Yet it seems people keep insisting it will work THIS time and the last times weren't 'real' Communism. Seems like an insanely stupid cop-out. Put an unrealistic standard at the pinnacle that cannot be obtained then, when you fail, claim it wasn't 'real communism' and, since nothing could realistically reach that fantasy ideal, you'd technically be right.
