Socialism does not produce a classless society; on the contrary it produces the most stratified of all societies, divided into two classes: the powerful and the powerless; the party-bureaucratic elite and the manipulated masses.

Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about: State ownership at the expense of private property.

@YeonmiParkNK That’s not true socialism. No form of government is perfect. Your country was ravaged by war, controlled by the Soviet Union, and handed over to a family of dictators. Is a totalitarian government. True socialism would take good people who care about others to make it effective.
