Imagine my shock and horror when my adult son told me that real Communism has never been tried. True story. I was completely blindsided. Where did that come from?
I tried to explain that if you are a communist in a Democracy or a Constitutional Republic (whatever you want to call us), nobody cares. You can do your thing.
But in a Communist country, capitalism cannot be tolerated. Everybody has to conform in order for their system to work. Therefore they use force to make sure everybody complies. Which inevitably leads to violence and prison for wrongthink and lots and lots of dead people.
