First, everyone who has read a bit of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, knows
that 'communism' in Russia started as a mass-revolution, but ended
in a stalinist, totalitarian and repressive regime. Marx's
definition of communism is a 'state' without classes and without
government. People manage their own lives and decide all together.If you have a bit of brain, you can see that the soviet union was
totally opposite to all of this.The question should be: where did it go wrong?
Was it because of the 'whites' invasion, the atrocities done by
them, the hunger, the 'war-communism' , the party or the very
weak working class in a half colonial country??Is it that every form of power corrupts, and so, it had to go
wrong? Or was it the circumstances?I think the truth lies in between, but i also think that every
attempt to create a society without destruction, oppression,
exploitation (and that is capitalism) is worth a try. Every failed
revolution is a lesson for the future, and one day we will
succeed!!!!Revolutionary greetings,
