    It devolved into autherianism as soon as bolsheviks took over, and that was right at the beginning. Stalin was a catastrophe because he was more wicked than the rest of them, but it doesn’t mean that whatever Lenin was doing wasn’t authoritarian project.

      So, now you’re saying that they never actually tried communism, because it was authoritarianism from the get go?

      I mean, I appreciate the correction, but it only strengthens my point.

        It devolved into it in the first years of tries and failures, which was under Lenin’s rule.

          You need to make up your mind. Was it right away, or after some time?

          But, regardless, you’re still proving my point - the people who attempted “communism” where autocrats who wanted power more than they wanted communism. And my second point that those who are good at leading a revolution and putting the existing system to the torch are not necessarily great at building something in peace.
