The only way to change a communist's mind is by putting lead through it.
While I wouldn't say that is strictly true - Boris Yeltzin famously lost his faith in communism when he visited an average American grocery store and saw what the Party had denied the Russian people - any Westerner who calls themselves a communist does so in wilful contempt of the evidence.
That's the problem. He was coming of a place of desolace and seeing the beauty on the other side.
These people are starting in that relative utopia and demanding more. They can't be reasoned with by those simply means.
Gorby had sort of the same revelation when he visited Canadian farms (he was hosted by Herb Grey, who was Ag Minister at the time.)
Shit, Gorby was impressed to shit by this fucking place, where went as kids because it was a cheap school field trip.
