People are always going to look for an advantage. Communism, IMO assumes that everybody will assume a role and put the state above personal power struggles. Power isn't just about money it's about Military strength, Intelligence, control of key resources, etc...

When you look at the failure of communism IMO you really see the failure of implementation of a "utopia" state. I just don't feel humans are capable of pulling it off.

You talk about socialism in it's application, and in large part you are also talking about megadeath: Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao...

You would think that in a period of mass political consciousness and increased literacy that you would have a working class that wouldn't allow for power struggles like this. They woulda nipped it in the bud, right? Well, no. Not when lenin is responsible for around 8 million deaths, Stalin 20 million, Hitler at 17million, etc...

what you had was a "Coercive Utopia" (c) Brezinski

And what IMO is the inevitable evolution from socialism to totalitarianism.
