There has never been a communist state. After the Revolution the USSR may have been moving that way but never got there. However close they may (or may not have) come, they were completely derailed by Stalin.
The USSR and every other so-called communist state were actually State-Capitalists. That is they were in fact capitalist however the means of production were owned by the state rather than individuals or corporations (who are, as we all know, legal persons). So whatever happened to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact states, it wasn't happening to commies. Cheers, frank On November 16, 2015 6:23:56 PM EST, Mark Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: >Daniel J.
