@pony It's an example of corruption, quite simply. You can find the same things in any other corrupt government no matter what system they are using. The practice of socialism itself did not enable it, it simply wasn't able to stop it- and this is only in the hypothetical scenario in which they had ever been practicing it to begin with, which is plainly false. Stalinism was an extreme form of corruption that grew out of what was already a corrupt government that had hijacked a popular revolution to get itself installed, something that happens all the time because revolutions are often very chaotic and disorganized. The lucky ones are those that come out of it with their ideals intact and are able to then put them into practice.
