| No, communism has never been tried. Damn this is hard to get through to people. Mao, Lenin and all others who you brand as communist tried to put their countries on paths to communism (if we ignore the fact they made nice littles niches for themselves that went against that path) As they never made it to the end of that path, which would be communism, it cannot be claimed that communism has been tried, as they never made it to communism to try.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
