I agree with the general sentiment that communism is fine in theory but worthless in practice -- based on human nature. If the state owns everything, and someone (or group) runs the state, then... DUH! That's not "purging" the bourgoise so much as creating aristocracy. Tyranny follows.
As with Cuba -- which is a DICTATORSHIP. Calling Cuba a communist government ignores reality and insults communism.
If we're lucky, Barry yon Sproutling will come along on this thread. As BTS would point out, true communism would have nearly no government and would akin to anarchy in many respects. But, imagine anarchy where everyone lives happily and contributes to the whole, no one owning anything and to each according to his means, etc.
Sounds like wishful thinking to me to think humans can avoid their nature and have one big collective epiphany like this.
