even liberal and conservative historians agree that the damn commies were actual communists: behind closed doors they didn't talk about machiavellian power grabs - they used the same historical materialist framework they would use in public. (for example Kotkin is adamant about this in his Stalin bio. Communists believed in communism. Shocker.)
