Without question, Marxism-Leninism as an economic policy is an economic disaster. Marxism-Leninism as a political order is a human calamity. Either way Marxism-Leninism will retard economic growth (a market at the least punishes wastes of resources) and novel creativity. What Marxism-Leninism is good at creating other than human suffering is weaponry -- hardly a surprise in militarized countries. Thus the beloved AK-47 and MiG fighters of the Soviet Union, East German missiles, and the infamous plastic explosive Symtex of Commie-era Czechoslovakia. Pour resources into such things with few restraints and there will be spectacular results.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
