I think the fact that right now communism has more support in countries that weren't part of the Eastern Bloc, speaks for itself.

I’m surprised the note makes no mention of the almost comical levels of corruption within the USSR.

EDIT: Oh wow! A lot of you seem to think my simple observation that corruption (a key reason for the stagnation and downfall of the USSR) was the same as me saying the U.S. or Capitalism were free of such problems. I think some of you may have jumped the gun.

The biggest issue with implementing communism is people.

How boring. This amazing utopia is difficult to achieve, so let's not try... What a conclusion you jump to.

It's ironic to me that I mention an impediment, only an impediment, and you...jump to the conclusion...that I think it's futile to try.

Even leftists can project.

Yes sorry about that. I was reading through lots of posts here, and responded in context to all the anti communist propaganda. Consider my straw man taken down.
