Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    maybe trite to point out, but it betrays such a total lack of understanding of dialectical and historical materialism and of communism itself when people talk about it in the past tense like this. and like it's a binary state a country can choose to enter by pressing the communism button or whatever. juvenile state of political education.
