And killing a few million people along the way, many of which were either entirely innocent or fellow communists.

You also have to make it egalitarian at some point.

Nestor Makhno, their most influential military strategist and a skilled anarchist organizer.
Grossly outnumbered and outgunned volunteer anarchist militias successfully defeated the armies of the Germans, the Austrians, the Ukrainian nationalists, and the White Russians. It took a professional army supplied by the world’s greatest industrial powers and simultaneous betrayal by their Bolshevik allies to stop them. If they had known then what we know now — that authoritarian revolutionaries can be as tyrannical as capitalist governments — and Russian anarchists in Moscow and St. Petersburg had succeeded in preventing the Bolsheviks from hijacking the Russian Revolution, things might have turned out differently.

I don't know what history books you read but the equation is simple

Communism+Human Nature+1 megalomaniac=utopian paradise

Personally, I think any argument that centers around "human nature" is nonsense. This human nature argument is ages old, and it is a malicious argument used by capitalists to explain why their system is the only possible system. This strategy has been used to support every oppressive form of human relations in the past. Against blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Slavs, Women, etc. They were all stupid "by nature", so enslaving them and oppressing them was no problem. The same goes for this argument of greed. It is a convenient idea to believe when you have all the power to use your greed to hurt others.

Do I get muted if I say Hitler? After all, Germany (where the FSE servers are hosted) tries to pretend that he never existed. (*coughs*, ashamed)

He rose from an injured soldier (and a failed, impoverished artist in Vienna in the 1920s) to the steely leader of Germany.
He started opposing the Weimar Republic from 1923, yet, funnily enough, was invited to be the Germany Chancellor by the President.
He intensified Germany' secret re-arnament from 1933...
He cleverly broke GER's diplomatic isolation with 10 year non aggression pacts.
He had the balls (or startegic mind) to gradually start extending Germany's territorial reach in Europe.
Spoiler
He gassed the Jews, Negroes, Catholics, Handicapped, Gypsies, Communists, etc etc, in order to create the puurrfect Aryan Master Race

No wait, that's a bad thing.  WAIT admin! I meant that he advocated or multiculturalism, and equal employment terms for all, regardless of gender or ethnicity, all while maintaining a tolerant political environment, where political pluralism was the key.
What a man.
[Get the sarcasm, Internet? No? Then you should be mentioned in the spoiler above ^ too.]
