The problem is that communism centralizes control (obviously of the economy, but in effect many other things) and when control gets centralized, bad things like this are more likely to happen.
The same is true of centralization in democracy, but to a lessor effect due to the distributed nature of power in democracies.
- pavlov 6y agoDecentralization on its own isn't the answer either. Look at what happened in USA after the Civil War. Progress was gradually erased on the state and town level. "States' rights" became a fig leaf for oppression of former slaves. The Constitution guaranteed them equal human rights, but reality was something different because the federal government gave up. It's hard to believe that this lasted until the 1960s.
