Read it and compare it to how it has gone. I've only been Politically aware for about 40 years, but I've watched those items tick off one by one all
through that time.
So what?
Whatever that list is and whatever has happened it's not communism.
Communism is a social system that does away with economy all together and everything is shared.
If that isn't happening then it's simply not communism. Whomever made that list obviously didn't want communism, they had their own agenda. Do you
think the Russian government wanted communism? Of course they didn't, the people DID, but they didn't get what they wanted which is typical for most
countries, or at least it used to be before state conditioning twisted everything over the last few decades.
Historically the left, socialism, communism were worker movements, not government or authorities. What happened during and after WWI was European
governments instigated fascism while trying to convince the people it was a peoples government, thus Russia used the term communism, and Germany used
the term socialism, neither of them were. It was just government as usual lying to the people in order to maintain power and control for the
capitalist owners of the means of production. Why believe those governments when you probably don't even trust your present government huh?
The west perpetuated the communist myth because it was part of justifying the military and all it's cost to the people. Without the 'communist
threat' the US would not have been able to invade, Korea, Vietnam etc. Those wars were nothing to do with communism.
The state fears true communism because it would strip them of their power and privileged life styles, that we the people finance through our
labour.
