To Grinder: About your worries about inherited dictator-position: The thing is that this scenario is, by definition, anti-communism. 'True' communism, which we have never seen 'in action', so to speak, cannot allow leaders pointing out their successors. Communism states that the SELECTION of leaders is in the hands of 'the people', through their own committees.[/b]
Incorrect. In true Communism there are no leaders, it is, by definition, a stateless, classless society.

The system of the working class selecting their own leaders is Socialism; which is commonly seen as a transitional stage between what state of government existed beofre, and true Communism.

And rlbell, I don't really see the logic in your suggestion that the success of a leader is measured in how well he hands over power.
