These people just love them some social engineering. At the heart of it is a firm belief that if THEY had been the dictator instead of Stalin, they could have created paradise. They just need control. And when they get it, and things start to fall apart, the reason is always that they don't have ENOUGH control. It's not their policies failing, it's the lack of faith by your neighbors. "Blame them, they are the enemy. I can create utopia, but only if your neighbors stop complaining and demonstrate faith." It's just narcissism from laptop bubble boys.
