Don't get me wrong I am not criticising social progress, nor am I puting Stalinism and socialism in the same basket, or calling modern socialists facists. I was just pointig out why Communism could not be achieved and why Trotsky had chosen another path. (Sorry if I made myself misunderstood).
We are actually talking about two different concepts. I mentionned Soviet Socialism tending towards Communism. You are talking about Socialism like it is defined in our modern democracies. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I was also drawing a parallel between communism ans fascism and emphasize the fact that both Nazism and Communism tried to smother religion. (getting the topic on track again)
