    Given that the last 25 times humanity attempted communism it ended in authoritarianism (and unspeakable suffering and horror), I think it’s time to admit that there is a fundamental issue with the ideology which does not accurately account for the human component.

        That’s a key phase of communism as prescribed by Marx.

        1. Violent revolution to overthrow bourgeois democracy.

        2. Centralised control, redistribution, re-education.

        3. Implement glorious and free democracy again.

        They keep getting stuck at 2 for some reason. It’s almost like power corrupts or something.
