there are no examples of "actual" communism.
so you don't know what you are talking about.
and this is is not some no true Scots an argument, if you look at how they worked the proletariat didn't control the means of production, what happened was that the state took control so it was more like state capitalism, much like China is now.
The wealth transfer didn't happen from the burgois/capitalists to the workers but to the ruling party,that's how you got wealthy in those states you became a party man.
in short those countries were about as communist as Nazis were socialist
