So we/they are constructing a dystopia.

34. How do you know whether communism is bad?

It's never been tried in a modern state.
Would you eat something that looks like shit and smells like shit, just because it was in a package labelled "Chocolate"?

And a modern state, whatever it calls itself, is organized for the benefit of the ruling elite; whatever that calls itself, it's old guys who control the money. As long as money talks (and people listen), there can be neither communism nor democracy, and the average citizen cannot be free; will not be allowed to live his little picture his own way.

But you can detach from some of the trappings of your national economy, some of the media disinformation, some of the folklore.
