Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    Because the Soviet Union was autocratic and communist/socialist countries had to choose between cosying up to them and being destroyed by the CIA.

        It’s been the most powerful country in the world since my grandparents were kids I don’t know what else you expect. Also I did say that the Soviet Union was autocratic.

          The CIA isn’t responsible for everything that happens in the world. Socialist countries have proven perfectly capable of screwing themselves up without American help.
