: Yes, Mike is right, this DOES get rather redundant, but just in case Joe (and other readers) are too lazy or careless to actually research the topic I'll say it for about the 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th time:
: SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN ANY PLACE, AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST.

: Russia, Cuba, E.Europe, China, etc etc etc were and are NOT examples of communism in the true form, as Marx and Engles initially intended it (and how true modern-day socialists view it). How is it the REAL socialists' fault if these countries have created a new gov't under a false title? I'm a socialist and I too oppose these horrible 'communist' (actually DICTATORSHIP) states. But I don't want to be blamed for it, or accused of believing the same things as Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, etc... Because if Lenin was a communist than pigs must be floating through the capitalist-polluted sky.

: Thank you, Comrades!!!

I would strongly advise you comrade not is disregarde the writtings of Lenin etc. they give valuable insights into organisation and, if nothing else, can highlight errors and things taht we can change to ensure success the 2nd time around.

WHAT IS EVERYONES PROBLEM WITH CUBA?
