in reply to Sir ALF

@Sir ALF How many people escaped from West Germany to East? And then there was North vs South Viet Nam? Or how about the Bolshevik revolution, how did that work out? Or the Cultural Revolution in mainland China, there is a real winner. But rather than learn from history people will just say they didn't do it right, like there is ever a right way for a top-down dictatorship which every communist regime ultimately decays to in very short order.
