Marx -> Lenin -> Stalin -> Stanley Ideals, doctrines, even constitutions are not a guarantee of rights. Case in point: the soviet constitution of 1917 (I think that was the year) was one of the most progressive, liberal platforms ever. It called for the abolishment of capital punishment, forbade the existence of secret police, called for freedom of the press at a scale unheard of even in the U.S., and allowed for as many political parties as there are people to join them. It got the poor people who believed in that kind of stuff pogroms, purges, thought police, children narcing on their parents, disenfranchisement of entire nations and millions dead at the hands of the government. These ideas about communal living you espouse are very close to those of the early soviets.
