Pretty true, actually. What Lenin writes about is not exaclty Communism, it had government. Same basic ideas (revolution of preoletariat, etc.) but with permamnent dictatorship of the proletariat. Indeed. Very true statement. Not that I have much time Reagan, but at least he implies the commonly interpreted definition of Communism is actually completely false. Another Reagan one that's true regardless of whether you support abortion or not: "I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born" Something like that anyways and... "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
