Nechayev:

A revolutionary "must infiltrate all social formations including the police. He must exploit rich and influential people, subordinating them to himself. He must aggravate the miseries of the common people, so as to exhaust their patience and incite them to rebel. And, finally, he must ally himself with the savage word of the violent criminal, the only true revolutionary in Russia". [1]

Many years ago i ate mucho Assparagus and collected my Urine afterwords. I have a 5 gal jug saved to pour on Jane Fondas grave, but i could spare some for Nechayev's grave site.

GRANNY.

Communism isn't a national movement, by definition.

A capitalist commissar "must infiltrate all social formations including the police. He must exploit rich and influential people, subordinating them to himself. He must aggravate the miseries of the common people, so as to exhaust them and their patience and incite them to blame each other and blame themselves. And, finally, he must ally himself with the savage word of the violent militarist, the only pure and true expression of capitalism in the world". [1]

Quite so. In theory a Utopian dream but in practice a tyranny.

true. communism only works when everyone buys into the system. Small communal villages work well, because everyone wants to be there, when people don't contribute, they are forced from the village

or the village dies out ... everyone waiting for someone else to do the work ... not enough funds to pay for the kids' dental care, etc., etc. ... that was the fate of the aurora commune on the US east coast, if i remember an old article correctly ...

This always bugs me. Are you suggesting capitalist regimes are not tyrannical?

Neither tyrannical nor utopian.
