That'd be good, but that would also require folks to openly discuss the flaws within communist nations, and try to think up new solutions. Neither of those things seem to be happening.

Edit: rather, no group seems to be doing the second thing. One side criticises, the other refutes. No admission of failures is reached, nor solutions sought.

Nailed it. When we refuse to face our demons, guess who's running the show? We confront the worst parts of ourselves and figure out how to address, rather than lean into, supress, repress, we make progress. When we lift ourselves, others are lifted.
