The point I would like to make about that is that communism only strayed away from the ORIGINAL idea of a Marxist Communist revolution. Communism was in effect in the USSR, yet that was a Stalinist form of communism, not the one defined in the Communist Manifesto. He ignored the fact that a nation had to be completely industrialized and instead advocated that nations who were industrializing would be able to pull off communism. Stalin was not industrializing to prepare for this revolution, it already happened during the October/November revolution when the communists came to power. While not how it was intended, communism WAS present and practiced in the Soviet Union.
