Russia only pretended to practice communism.....had there been real communism there would not have been a
dictatorship in place. For an example, in communism, the workers are supposed to own the factories. They were told that they owned them in Russia but in practice, the profits went to the ruling leaders and the workers saw squat.

And you think the workers in Cuba's government run factories get to keep much of anything? But Castro is a left wing dictator according to you.

As for profits in the Soviet Union in many ways there was no profit. Things where bought and sold by plan (and that was before the plans broke down) not by supply and demand and price signals. Money was skimmed off by the leaders but no more so then in most other dictatorships.
