I disagree strongly with you. Your post implies he has been intellectually honest at any given point.I believe you're thinking of totalitarianism, and you're forgiven; many ideological right wingers believe the Soviet Union and China were socialist economies. They were not. They were "command" economies, run by dictatorships.
You're being intellectually dishonest. You might try and label it anyway you like, but the bottom line is they were collectivist systems that failed.
Period.
