But communism was not what happened in the USSR.

Yes, it was. It's dishonest to claim that your system has never been tried when it has been tried and failed.

You can go down the list of things the Communist Manifesto proposed and see that the USSR did all of them: http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Marxism.html

Ahh yeah when you are out of arguments go for the persons motives right? Where have I ever claimed to that communism was my system? Pray tell.

I think you need to read up on history my friend. And perhaps read the actual work of Marx before being so cock sure about what you are claiming.

Then we can have an adult discussion about the many issues with communism.

Your condescension means you didn't read my cite or engage me honestly at all. And I even picked out the easy-to-read citation, too.
