Those on the right, and this includes the liberal left also, will assert that communism is worse than capitalism, is hypocritical at best, and murderous and genocidal at it's worst. Of course, this all depends on how you interpret history, and how much validity you would give to defenders of colonialism, slavery, and imperialism. These people are also fond of pointing out the privileges that the old commie leaders had under their system, and how this shows it to be a flawed ideology. Wrong , motherfuckers, dead fucking wrong. It is not the ideology that is at fault, but rather, the remnants of the old system, with it's elitist bullshit reasserting itself. I would like to think that we have learned something from the mistakes of the past, and if some bloated asshole tried any of the setting up of shops, summer houses, and villas for use by party leaders and their hangers-on only, we'd go fucking Cultural Revolution on their ass, not let them get away with that shit.
Just something I've been thinking about lately.
