they never attained a real communist society.

Libertarianism and Communism are two faces of the same coin.

Neither are attainable for the same reasons....people will inevitably abuse them because people are always corruptible.

Modern Russia is just a rebranded totalitarian version of the Soviet Union without the trappings of the communist state to cover the corrupt leadership.

I suspect that the conservatives hatred of communism was not really about hatred but about jealousy.

American conservatism is really just about using and exploiting others, greed, and abject selfishness.

Just another version of the Putin's corrupt state. That is why fat fascist 45 like him so much, he wants to be just like him.
