Yeah. Exactly. As much as I would love to live in a world where everything was shared, it just goes completely against human nature.
Most communist countries really fell because the Americans (who had a lot of money but are now in astonishing debt due to their leader's abject idiocy) basically just bought everything they could, stripping comunism of its assets which fed the people and paid for everything. Once you get to a stage that communist countries don't have any industry then it's obviously going to fail. The American Government basically just go around interfering with whoever or whatever the current leader doesn't like.
Some of them didn't like communism, so communism was attacked. The 70's going well for the USA and USSR was because the American government had other problems and also that the presidents didn't really care about communism so much. In the 80's conservative governments (including that bitch Thatcher) got into power and started putting pressure on the USSR again. That's what led to its failure. Capitalists holding vendettas against communism for no reason other than that it got them votes.
It's the same with Iraq, but my views on that are heard far too often anyway, so I'll shut up.
