Makes it worse, right? What Chomsky called, "the
threat of a good example." -- he was talking about
Sandinista Nicaragua, which also had these features,
although also a lot of corruption, it appears, and
some persecution of the indiginerous population. Or
Allende's Chile. Stalinism, e.g., N. Korea, is much
less of a threat to die Herrschaften, hoi aristoi,
than any democratic radical left alternative.
