  "early days of the Soviet Union."

The early days of the Nazi regime weren't that bad, either.

  "Paris commune"

The Paris commune only lasted for a few months. If history is any guide, it would've turned into an authoritarian hellhole eventually.

I'm more than happy to adopt the small handful of things that they got right, while rejecting all the other stuff that inevitably leads to misery, poverty, and mass death.

Like what other stuff? Separation of church and state? Rent remission? Postponement of commercial debt obligations? Pensions?

Or the feminist stuff maybe?
