in 1938 or so there was nothing wrong with communism. If you ignore all the dead bodies in the Soviet Union. Here is a snippet from wikipedia on Stalin - chosen just to highlight your historical ignorance: Following the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, he prevailed in a power struggle over Leon Trotsky, who was expelled from the Communist Party and deported from the Soviet Union. In the 1930s Stalin initiated a Purge of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which has become known as the Great Purge, an unprecedented campaign of political repression, persecution and executions that reached its peak in 1937. The above by no means implies that Stalin was the root of all evil in communism. Lenin himself killed millions by mass executions, death camps, and state-caused famine. Under Lenin famine was deliberately started in 1921-22 to starve the peasants into submission, killing millions. markhumphrys.com The "dictatorship of the proletariat" idea called out for a Lenin/Stalin type to rise and that idea goes back to Marx and Engels.
