The Soviet Union, like communism in general, started out with the most noble of aims. Sadly, though, it may be that our species is yet ready to fully embrace such an honourable concept. It might be centuries before the entire planet can understand the beauty of true and pure communism. Perhaps, given the constant rush to war, it may be too late for Homo Sapiens who appear to lack the wisdom indicated in their Latin title.
