--- Quote from: Karl Marx on August 04, 2017, 03:07:12 PM ---I don't remember the Soviet Union passing legislature or undergoing any kind of democratic process to implement gulags, actually. I read it as more of a "dictator seizing power and silencing dissent before it can arise" kind of situation.

If by "I wish" you mean that you wish for a communist revolution you need to rethink life choices.. . ...

I've said this before, but there are a lot of Soviet satellite states or states otherwise forced into implementing a soviet-style government. Beyond that, many attempts at large-scale communism led to atrocity because the government decided that they needed to rapidly industrialize or else they would fail miserably at becoming a world power. Turns out forcing rapid industrialization doesn't work (See: The Great Leap Forward). Capitalism is useful for getting industrialization taken care of, at least.

So communism is a feudalism tier government structure

Got it.
Verification:
if by industrialization you mean forcing people to work for below minimum wage maybe you should rephrase that
communism slows down industrialization if anything you loving loon because everyone either has to save up for 40 years to start manufacturing one product or buy stuff the government sells
