Russia is far from communism, with only Putin and a few oligarchs in power.
I mean, that sounds like textbook communism to me.
Maybe actually read textbooks then. Hint: They're the ones without pictures.
There's philosophical or edgy teenager communism and then there's the human communism that exists in practice to consolidate power by the guise of seizing the means of production...for the few oligarchs.
Imagine believing this. If you have no idea what you're talking about, don't.
Why did communist historically mostly make stuff like healthcare and education free or more accessible? I think that while you make interesting point you are being to harsh. While in some cases this could have happened overall communism provides far more to the common people tha capitalism ever could.
