Right now communism 2.0 as practiced by the Chinese is the only version of communism that can actually claim it got something right, mainly by ditching anything communistic except the dictatorship.   It seems hardly likely any 3.0 would still keep up the facade of “communism”.

Storming castles is not the reserve of communists.    

Also, just because revolutions are sometimes initially led by hotheads doesn’t mean hotheadedness has any future in any revolution.

I tried storming a castle once.

Best I could get was a light gale.

Actually, storming a castle is pretty expensive.  Better to just starve them out.
