Communism destroys the middle-class and the peasantry to enrich the ruling class. Russian oligarchy is intact. North Korean oligarchy is intact. Chinese oligarchy, intact.

When you see the interview of an old Russian peasantlady that stated in Tsarist Russia times were rough, but no one starved, you know these people are the devil.

It's not true that in Tsarist Russia nobody starved, but at least people who were inclined to work and work well were generally less affected than lazy ones. The communists brought exactly the negative incentive to make any quality work at all. By the end of USSR this approach so rotted the countries that even 30 years after its dissolution the mentality is still widespread (not to say that the actual terror was long gone by that time, and beginning from Khrustchev there were lots of positive done).

So yeah, everybody advertising communism should take all the tomes of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, and shove all of them into own ass.

In Tsarist Russia when there was famine people were allowed to leave and go where there was food. Under communism not so much.
