Communism has never not become corrupted because it is a system that engenders corruption. Don't try to tell me that the Soviet Union didn't start out as a perfectly honest attempt.
The Soviet Union became corrupted mainly due to war, starvation, isolation (not only did the revolution fail in Germany due to a treacherous Social democrat party, but 8 imperialist armies invading Russia along the White Army). 70% of the Bolshevist party leaders died during either the revolution or the civil war, and the rest were hunted by Stalin and his allies. With only the rightist pressures left, social, and economic ways of the peasantry were established, developing a bureaucracy.

Are you suggesting healthcare is free in other countries?[/quote]
It is in Argentina, we might suck in many things, but if you are dying, or you only have a red throat , you will get free care from the state. Be ready to wait 6 hours to get attention, or wait 4 months for an appointment, but hey, we are a third world country.
