Grade A trolling. You are looking only at what liberty failed to prevent instead of looking at what it did. I could say that communism is responsible for the Khmer Rouge Genocide, starvation due to mismanagement and political oppression, but I don't because these are merely instances of where communism failed to prevent tyranny. I instead look at what communism did, which is considerably less than what liberty did in it's primordial stage.
Liberty didn't turn Athens into a utopia overnight, saying that this invalidates liberty is ridiculous. What it did do was prevent psychotic thugs from taking over and replaced them with oligarchs who had some sort of incentive to ensure Athens wasn't a brutal place to live.
What communism would do is strip the middle classes of their power and put it in the pocket of whaytever tyrant is using communism as an ideal to get into power.

So you need liberty before communism? Right? And if the people aren't convinced communism maybe, just maybe, you should look at why they think communism is a bad idea instead of assuming they are all evil capitalists or intellectually inferior idiots. You do think that thought don't you. That's a communist idea. That everyone is a clean slate and people who know "less" are inferior, religious people, people with different political opinions, babies and children are all inferior to you and deserve less human rights. Is that why you believe certain people don't deserve the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
