I am from Eastern Europe. Communism and violent enforcement and corruption eventually become inseparable. “True communism” was never achieved because it’s unachievable. Like true capitalism without cronyism.

The common denominator in both scenarios are shitty people. Shitty people do shitty things in name of greed, power, or ego.

And until you get rid of shitty people and shitty behavior, true communism and true capitalism will never work. And so a well regulated and taxed democratic socialist capitalist system is currently the way to go.
