Well, as an inhabitant of a former Soviet block state I can honestly tell you, that communism does not work for humans. It's a nice idea, but impracticable. It will always deteriorate into brutal dictatorship or simply cease to be. Now socialism, or a "nanny state" as some would have it, is a different matter altogether.

I do agree that the USSR is more complex than is usually shown in comic books.
