Either you must be incredibly naive or just are so unfortunate to not be
the sharpest knife in the drawer: communist ideology regarded money as
evil and one main objective of communist ideology is to ABOLISH currency
all together. You have obviously not done your homework on the subject.
If they had gone all out normal trade it would have been the same as to
admit that their ideologies aren't viable. Had what makes sense
economically taken predecense over their beliefs they would also have
lifted the ban on private entrepeneur****p¹.

about to collapse.
