Right, we don't understand. My wife's college educated parent's, one of whom graduated top of his engineering class, don't understand the intricacies of Communism despite growing up under Communist rule and living there through their early working years. Only you lefties who have discussed the topic in depth over $5 lattes in college have a true understanding of how Communism works and how a country gets there.
No one have ever grown up under communist rule because there has never been any country remotely communist.
The closest you can come is primitive tribes or religious communes.
It is not that communism could not be tried on a larger scale, but that capitalists always take over before it has any chance.
For example, anyone claiming Stalin was anything but a pure capitalist, would be extremely ignorant.
