	There are theoretical arguments against communism and arguments
from experience.  The latter are much stronger.  No-one did or could
have deduce from the theories of Marx and Lenin that attempts to put
their doctrines into practice would result in a society that

1. Has special stores for the privileged.

2. Holds in its population by a Berlin wall.

3. Has a leadership that hold its positions into senility.

4. Has even more tendency to go to war with other communist countries
than with capitalist countries.

5. Has so little self-confidence that it won't adopt its own technical
innovations preferring those developed by capitalist countries.

6. Tends to be ruled by dictators and comes close to civil war at
each leadership succession crisis.
