Indeed - this was perhaps one the biggest paradoxes of history - the Communists whose claim for fame was the belief that capitalism sows the seeds of its own destruction themselves sowed the seeds of their own destruction - the intelligentsia that they created almost from the scratch turned into the force that eventually did its creators in.
-------------- Right, but this intelligentia was not created from scratch; they were mostly the educated children of a former privileged layer. And they retained, in the marrow of their bones, the whole slavish worship of power and privilege.
