When people say communism, most people think of Stalin, Mao, or some other horrible dictator, when that's not at all what Karl Marx envisioned.

| There's no actual indication of success in the "Gurian Republic," since soldiers broke it up. |

@Thorae The article says this had begun in 1903, and ita was only destroyed in 1905, isn't that enough time? |

| Less than a year, and in what condition? We don't know. Somalia has existed in this condition for a few years. |

Only several people showed up to Marx's funeral.

Somalia hasn't existed in any condition for more than a few years at most. The Free Territory and Shinmin Autonomous Region lasted for at least 3 years, though, and they functioned well enough for Trotsky to come in and ruin everything. |

ACTUALLY.
The common kid thinks Russia is still Communist.
It was never even Communist in the first place, the USSR wasn't communist either, it was Socialist. |
