      Does this matter? Every communist state I’ve known has failed.

      The idea may sound good in principle, but clearly humans can’t grasp it.

          A communist state is just that. A nation that adopted communism.

          I never mentioned socialism. I think socialism is okay. Or at least democratic socialism.

          I was referring to communism.

              Thanks for the lesson. Now, what do people mean when they say that Soviet Russia and Cuba are communists?

              I don’t think democratic socialism leads towards communism. Hasn’t Sweden implemented a form of socialism, for example?

              My questions are not confrontational, but I’ll admit they’re rooted in my limited knowledge but also in my very real experience.

              I come from a country that could have been a communism wonder having adopted a socialist approach in 1999, and today it’s in shambles.
