    So, you’re a communist is what you’re saying. Name one communist country in the history of the world that has lasted longer than 10 years. You introduce greeds, it’s impossible.

      You should know that you are making a very ideologically based argument, since as far as anyone can tell the self-labelled communist countries through history were degraded into authoritarian dictatorships immediately, and so mislabeled. Cuba is called communist, and while they too slid immediately into authoritarianism, they call themselves socialist.

      You seem to be using the word in a colloquial rather than an academic way.

      In addition, consider the massive economic war of the last 150 years, exemplified by the CIA-backed murder of a million or so people in Indonesia, to stamp out so-called communism. Pretty tough to get anything going, between the pressures of violence and lies.
