I don't understand your question. I'm not saying that history always takes this specific course. It just doesn't surprise me that it went down as it did. The cycle of the oppressed becoming the oppressor is typical, and drastic land reform measures (i.e. taking land away from people who know how to farm it and giving it to government cronies who don't) tend to lead to famine and/or economic collapse.

Dialectical Marxism. Maybe communism is a shit system, but Marx made some very accurate observations.
