Read some Hayek.
So many people baited so far.
I doubt you've read anything written by Marx & Engels, not even the Communist Manifesto.
Next week you're back to being a soy boy liberteen again.
Your political orientation is always shallow and you change them as one changes clothes, nothing wrong about changing positioning, but you make more of a fanfare announcing them than actually reading and researching.
He is, for sure. There's even no need to prove this, IMO.

There are college professors older me that are Marxists and would says something similar I tried to keep it simple and not a long essays since most people don't type those kinds of replies here. Soviet Russia was not Communist at certain point(s) it was Socialist working towards Communism (which it never achieved) and Soviet Russia reverted back to state Capitalism in the 1950s. Also, the Marxist revolution was either supposed to happen in an advanced Industrial economy or have help from advanced Industrial nations but that never happened -- Russia had to build up an industrial base which took a dictator like Stalin-- before they could arrive at paradise but paradise never arrived partly because they were attacked from without by the West and economically crippled by an arms race with the West etc...
However, in the meantime , Soviet was able to along with its satellites achieve cheap housing , fuel, transport and culture, full employment and impressive social services for half the citizens of Europe , as well as an incomparably greater degree of equality and material well-being than those nations had previously enjoyed etc...East Germany had the finest child care system in the world etc.. etc.. it battled fascism heroically and as well as helping topple Colonialist powers. It fostered a solidarity and spirit among its people that the West only inspires when genociding natives of other lands.
This is all no substitute for freedom, democracy, vegetables in the shop but nether is it to be ignored. Also, like I said marxist revolutions ideally were supposed to take place in advanced industrialized nations but this never happened so the system was forced to drag it's people e.g. Chinese and Russia into the industrialized future kicking and screaming via a dictator if they already had the industrial base then theoretically there would be no dictator per se.
