It *is* puzzling.

But I think it contains the SAME germ of truth as exists also in the famous 
statement about "Ideal Communism", which I think Marx and other theorists wrote 
about:

"Ideal Communism is a state that is approached, but never achieved."

Appreciating the difference between real and ideal is what makes the two 
statements bear some sense.

I don't agree with either of them.
