Remember, Khrushchev said it could be done "in the main" by 1980. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_in_20_years And all I'm asking for in this challenge is the Soviets *saying* they have done it, not their actually doing it...

One of the basic perquisites for full Communism is that all capitalism has been extinguished. So unless the USSR somehow wins a 3rd World War in the intervening time, it would be kinda hard for them to declare full communism when there are still capitalist countries around.![]()
Was that in the manifesto? From my extensive reading of the subject, it was a societal movement that sought the elimination of class hierarchy, along with other hierarchies deemed inherently oppressive.
There were most certainty drives to export Communism as a matter of principle within various schools of Marxian thought, but that by no means entailed the elimination of all global economic hierarchy in order to achieve the ends set out by the ideology within respective regions of the world.
To phrase it differently, Communism sought the elimination of class and other forms of oppressive hierarchy through revolution. With the aforementioned end established, must the complete global elimination of the various hierarchies be a required condition? I'll let you infer from here.
