          Why are you comparing an economic concept and a form of representation concept

            Because Soviet communism, and most national implementations of communism around the world, are a combination of system of government and economic model

        What was that whole collective farming thing they were trying at then? I know Stalin was just taking advantage of the whole thing, but Kruschev et al were definitely trying at socialism, albeit failing miserably.

        Okay, but then we also have to stop pretending that the USA is a democracy.

        It’s just as much of a distortion of the terms

          Yes, that is long overdue.
