I've heard the same argument for communism. "That wasn't real communism," and I bought into this for a while. But looking at it all objectively now .. no .. China, the Soviets .. it's real communism. Cults participate in high levels of communism too.
I've been to the museums in Moldova with displays dedicated to the people who were taken to gulags. I've read about the people who starved in the Ukraine. People like Adam Curtis liked to say communism/soviets were not as great a threat as they were made out and how Regan's teams overreacted .. but I don't know now.
We are seeing active experiments with polyamory today. It's different because you don't have the legal bindings in polygamy. My hypothesis is if you offered full legal polygamy marriages, it would not turn out well long term. We could try it, sure, but it never worked in the past. You thing you're magically going to get it right this time, like modern day Marxists? I have my doubts.
