    That one’s been tried - spoiler: it’s worse.

    Pick literally any former USSR state and compare the improvements in living standards before and after socialism.

      No Leninist and Authoritarian society ever managed to turn control of the means of production over to the workers.

      Besides, with more attentive you would find that even Lenin’s abortive revolution was preferable to Tsarist Russia.

      Either way Makno’s Black Army territories are more illustrative of Socialism than examples based in Leninist counterrevolution and tyranny.
