Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    Realistically anybody who can take control of a country is a bit of a ruthless cunt, and ones that take over in an armed uprising especially so.

    It’s not a massive shock that some of them don’t want to give up the crown once they’ve got it.

    Even in so called democracies, we basically get to choose our “king” from a heavily vetted list. It ain’t going to be people like me and you rising to the top.
