    A few things, here:

    1. Communist theory does work in practice.

    2. Socialism/communism are democratic, and have been so historically and presebtly.

    3. Socialism and communism don’t care if everyone is a “good person.” I don’t know how you came to that conclusion.

    Communist parties over socialist economies, like in the USSR, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, etc have all been dramatically successful in uplifting the lives of the working classes and democtatizing the economy. Communists support communism and socialism because of the effectiveness of these systems.

        I don’t know what you’re trying to say here, sarcasm isn’t a point. These are all examples of countries that have been dramatically successful in uplifting the lives of the working classes.
