You may be right in the technical sense,But unfortunately with the Chinese Communists also using the term as little more than a label (instead of the more honest 'Greedy Dictatorial Cunts' label), and the North Korean authorities doing the same, Communism as it has manifested itself in the real world is basically what's being used in the challenge. Communism in its pure sense doesn't exist in the real world, I hate to say.

i really really wish that i could disagree with you.But i cant. The Russians and subsequent 'revolutionaries' have achieved little more than giving the true meaning of the word 'communism' a bad name. Under Karl Marx's theories, countries like the USA, the UK, Germany and france would have gone commy through a social evolutionary process and ended up as a big happy world. Sadly the marxist partys such as the bolsheviks got a bit impatient and decided to go strait from a semi-feudal system (instead of uber-capitalist). This resulted in things being done wrong becuase the countries which actually turned commy were 3rd world countries which couldnt afford to support its people even if people like Mao ZeDong or that korean fella inteded to.
