True communism was never tried.

  Speaking of Communism "the goal" (classless, stateless ) vs "the philosophy", then that's a nonsensical statement. What preceded in Russia and China was precisely meant to advance Communism. Trivially evident by answering the question: how does one "try" Communism? You have few choices: State Socialism, or anarchism, by way of vote or revolution. That has definitely been tried, with catastrophic results.

  The article is talking about socialism. It does everyone a disservice to come in here, blur the lines, and post a trite self-satisfied comment like this.

  That might be true. Ever wonder why?
