Comments on: Was the USSR Communist? http://dbzer0.com/blog/misunderstanding-communism-its-not-ussr A bug in the code of the universe.

Not one great gigantic fail. Just small "failures", "mistakes" that Marxist-Leninists insist won't happen again. Just Because. The truth of the matter however is that Stalinist Socialism, failed abjectly, and degraded into Capitalism. And that, you cannot deny. And for every positive exposition of life in the USSR, there negative ones as well, such as the provided by Emma Goldman, and let's not even mention how many people praise capitalism just as well.

The only unscientific and utopian forms of socialism are indeed the marxist-leninists, who've been actually proven to be failures in history many many times. (USSR, PRC, North Korea etc) and yet insist that their methods work. Don't make me laugh when talking about "everyone". Lolwut?

If you have read Marx, Engels, Lenin and other Marxists, you will see this defeat very well. :) And, yes, other strains of socialism are unscientific and everyone know it with good reason; these other strains are the utopian socialism, based on IDEALISM, a philosophical school defeated by materialism.

At least not as most communist understand and expect it.
