Was the problem with communism the idea, or the implementation? The idea is straight out of the Bible - a society based on sharing. (It's bizarre that modern conservatives evoke the Bible so much actually, nothing they do policy-wise is morally justifiable by the Bible at all.) I think what the Russians stuffed up was the implementation. They tried to act too fast based on a misunderstanding of how change happens. In *exactly* the same way modern managers do. And the proof? The 5-year plans and strategic plans you find in modern business? All invented by the commies.
