unfortunately, "communism" was never really "pure" in the first
place. i believe that idealogies of marx is more like the
development of society from one stage to another, and communism is
the desire to progress, either through natural selection or wanting
to shortcut right into utopia. and like they say, shortcuts usually
have their own set of problems.
china's communism is a corruption of marx's ideas in the first
place.
