Afaik this happened with every single instance of a communist country. Communism seems like a pretty good idea on the surface, but then why does it always become autocratic?

    Oh yes, as you can read above, it very much is. It is in its original description as found in the criticism by Karl Marx in Das Kapital, in 1867.

    It isn’t according to the earlier definition of capitalism. Real capitalism hasn’t been tried yet. Show me an example of a real capitalist country? What’s Marx’s opinion on capitalism worth, as he hasn’t ever experienced a real capitalist country?

      No, the onus of evidence is on you to show me this “early definition of Capitalism” that predates Marx. Although it seems if you’re claiming such, you simply didn’t read my comment.
