Seattle, Wa. Do you think this is wise?

"Yields results" is an understatement

One of the things about communist societies that is poorly understood (if understood at all) in the West, is that, after the violence ends, how utterly corrupt those societies become.

There is -no- social equality.  There are ordinary folks, the paid agents of the surveillance state, the officials of that state, and the top ring of the elite.  Each group lives better than the other, and anyone who is foolish enough to speak up about the injustice of the structure is jailed or 'disappeared'.

Because of that, each group that doesn't have all of the benefits seeks to better their situation via shortcuts and 'unofficial solutions' [read: bribes and favors].  Over years, that behavior becomes so ingrained in the group mentality that it is almost impossible to shake even when the communists lose power.

The communist style of government more or less permanently damages societies.  The former Warsaw Pact countries still live under the shadow of these effects.  Russia and Ukraine are incredibly corrupt; whether they eventually get away from that mentality is an open question.

We think we have problems with corruption in the USA.  Yes, there is a problem with corruption in the USA ... but we haven't seen anything yet.  Communism, in any form, is not a place a country wants to go, because, once there, there is no way back.
