It gets sold as you only need to do it once, but it is something that needs constant attention and requires a review of those who say they follow The Revolution to make sure they still continue to do so.

Absolutely, no disagreement on that position.

I think that's kind of true of all political programs though, to some extent. Everything is of course subject to entropy.

Those are still good channels to check out though, if you're interested. :3

I only bring it up as a part of communism over other systems seems to encourage a political system resistant to political change. The requisites that you need to join a certain political party and that only that one party seems to create a political monoculture that will calcify into something that doesn't serve the people.

The opposite is observed in practice. In both the USSR and even moreso in the PRC, the single-party state encompassed wild swings in economic policy.

The joke goes, in the US you can change the party but not the policy, in China you can't change the party but you can change the policy.
