I've read the Manifesto. And Das Kapital. And the other major works of Marx and Engels. You should do that too. If you do it, you'd know that communism has never existed, anywhere, at any time, except in very small, closed and usually isolated societies. Moreover, I'm from Eastern Europe. What we had here was not communism. What the Soviets had in USSR was not communism and what the Koreans, the Cubans and the Chinese currently have is not communism. Read something besides the Manifesto and you'll probably find out why.
You seem to be talking about communism in its entirety, and of course that didn't happen anywhere, cuz things look good on paper but when put in practice they turn out to be disastrous, and most of the time it turns that way because of the human factor.
I was talking about the property rights and all those above, arguing that mvassilev's ideas about a free market are similar to communist ones. And abolition of property, inheritance rights and confiscation of property were the very first things that happened in my country after the 'election' of the communist party.
And, from a materialistic point of view, they indeed proved to be better than capitalism, but at the expense of important rights and liberties, and I can't agree with that.
