Yeah, as I’ve said before the mismatched comparison of socialism-to-be and free-market-as-it-is makes it hard for some people to understand what is going on. If they made the comparison of socialism-as-it-is and free-market-as-it-is, they would probably have a different outlook on communism and free-markets. The Black Book of Communism has the results of communism laid out for you. The picture is not one I would call rosy, even if it is as red as it is.
