If you bake a cake and you have this magnificent idea in your head; do you gather all the ingredients and then presto magic you have a beautiful cake in front of you? Or is there some sort of process that’s missing? Some sort of transitionary period?
There’s a reason it’s called Marxist-Leninism too, older works can be superseded or reanalyzed by newer works in a more refined context.
What’s the alternative??? Gommunism no IPhone?
I’ve actually been able to find four total!
Excuse me, I'll have you know capitalism is the most efficient system we've ever come up with! There are no alternatives! Socialism doesn't count because "Mao 1 gazillion iPhone Vevezula Stalin Spoon Human Nature Gulag!"

They thought they could avoid hostilities with the US, and prevent an arms race or possible WW3. When they were rejected, they somberly realized what was going on and quickly organized the Warsaw Pact.
The Soviets also offered on two separate occasions to reunify Germany and establish it as a neutral country outside either spheres of influence. This would include the withdrawal of all Soviet, American, French, and British assets and forces. This was soundly rejected.
On the one hand I agree, but on the other I feel there is danger in attempting to pathologize every single little thing.

Meanwhile the British coronation cost 125 million dollars, and families can barely scrounge up 15 pounds to go to the food bank.
An Israel funding bill was one of the other bills shoved into this one.
Israel is going to get an additional 26.3 billion dollars in aid because of this passing.
