People who falsely distinguish different types of Socialism/Communism annoy me. "Oh, but real Communism/Socialism/Bluebuggeryism hasn't been tried yet, all those millions dead, lives ruined, continents held captive, that just doesn't count."
Yes it has been tried. Plenty of intelligent people saw how things would turn over *very* early on. Read this short story by Eugene Richter, a member of the German Imperial Parliament in 1893: http://library.mises.org/books/Eugen...c%20Future.pdf
He was pretty accurate in his assessment of Germany's next 97 years, wasn't he? The logical consequences of socialism have always been obvious to anyone with a brain, but are never obvious to wishful thinkers.
