On the contrary, there have been plenty of real communist societies.  They
have not been very large or long-lasting because, ironically, they're not very
profitable.

But what is profitable (= you get more value out than you put in) should be
preferred to what decreases value.

So what if there was no fair trial?  Their children weren't members of the
Young Communist League, after all.  And their servents--traitors to the

Unfortunately, current Marxist/Leninist states such as China, Cuba &
North Korea are continuing this tradition.
