Absolute rubbish.

This is a classic trope of the fully-brainwashed. The bread queues that resulted from collectivised agriculture that couldn't respond to market conditions had nothing to do with feudalism.

The mass-murder of the middle-classes in Cambodia had nothing to do with feudalism.

Communism is a brutal, oppressive system that has to erase individual liberty in order to force people to comply with its absurd, unfair rules. If it was so great, why didn't the Russians just vote it back in again?

they wrote "same old russian feudalism" and "still not emancipated citizens" and you non-sequitur it with "if it was so great"..?

Fair point - my argument is that it added a load of additional garbage on top. It clearly didn't achieve anything substantially positive, and it hasn't done anywhere it's been tried.

[croisillon]

i agree with that and i believe the person you answered to agrees as well

I'm not so sure. Sounded like apologism to me, which is dangerous, frankly.
