I really don't agree with you on this one. Communism was a necessary step in russia. The tsar created a society who was in favour of a very small, rich part of the population, and a lot of the russian people had a lot worse livingconditions before the communists took control. There is a reason why ideologies like communism exist in the fost place: The idea of an equal share for everyone is really good! You work after ability and recieve after need. The problem is that people will alway hunger for power and get corrupted, so practicallY speaking communism is a system of gouvernment that is doomed til drive itself down. Another negative aspect is the control the gouvernment has to have: Enormous amounts of paperwork just to control that everything is controlled. An the secret police, providing no freedom of speech for anyone. This was absolutely impossible in a huge country like the USSR. But, my point is really, that communism is a result of a bad standard of living among the working class in a country, and was in Russia a necessary step to dispose of the Tsar-regime, who repressed the people.
And, the communists didn't do everything wrong: The equal rights for all provided free school and decreased the analfabetism, something that ironically lead to a smaller revolution because people now were able to educate themselvs (Because they could read). Lenin and Stalins gouvernments also added to a larger buildup in the country's infastructure.
All systems of gouvernment are doomed to destroy themselvs, even democracy. It's just the best one we've discovered yet.
