Why Communism Failed

EatTheRich

President
Every time communism fails (which is every time), communists do their level best to blame everything except communism.

I don't think too many folks are going to buy it, however. Communism as an economic system is flawed by design. Its failure is inevitable.
No … every time the counterrevolution predictably fails the public in a socialist or leftist country, the same people who actively helped the counterrevolution usurp power pretends that the failure is that of communism. Yet their practical anticommunism is always directed precisely against those regimes (like Cuba’s) where a more revolutionary course has been maintained and the public has not been failed.

Again...Blame everything except communism when it fails yet again.

Note that the communists were the ONLY people resisting Stalin's rise to power, which was supported by every enemy of communism in the world. Yet you blame them for the "failures" of his government ... meaning that the tremendous growth in living standards was accompanied by much unnecessary pain ... and those inspired by him.

Stalin was a communist, and without communism the world would have never heard of him.

Your heroic communists gave him the vehicle to kill more than Hitler.

Stalin was a renegade from communism whose path to power was paved with the dead bodies of the communists who opposed him. His rise to power went hand in hand with the accommodation to the capitalist world’s demands for a blunting of communism’s class-struggle edge.

Stalin was a communist.

Communists put him in power.

Communism has lots of blood on its hands.

This is all known. And you can't change that.

The most well-known communists in the world, Lenin and Trotsky, threw themselves with all their might into preventing Stalin’s rise to power, that is, the replacement of the revolutionary working-class government ruling Soviet Russia with a counterrevolutionary bureaucratic clique. His rise to power was impossible until years of foreign invasion and civil war had weakened the workers’ dictatorship and until he and his allies had systematically rid the government and ruling party of every vestige of democracy and of communist leadership. His political approach was diametrically opposed to that of Lenin on core issue after core issue of communist principle.

And he still looks like a humanitarian compared with his capitalist contemporaries such as Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, or Roosevelt.
