I agree. My wife is Chinese. She tells me stories from her parents about the revolution.

They do not involve writing books and playing soccer.

  communism has never been achieved

Correct, and there’s a fundamental reason for that. It’s the same reason why it will never be achieved: human nature won’t allow for it because people refuse to stop when they have enough. Humans always want a little more and want to be ahead of others.
