the ussr never attempted to even adopt proper communism. There is an incredible book called "The most popular delusions and madness of crowds" it pretty much outlines how the ussr was able to use the guise of communism to take control. Hope and Fear my droogs. Hope and fear.

EDIT: it's actually ['Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds'] (http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Popular-Delusions-Charles-Mackay/dp/0486432238) thanks! u/Aut0graph

It's actually 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds'. It's very, very good.

Not specifically on point, but you might consider the classic Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds or the works of the great anti-psychiatrist Thomas Szasz (in particular Ceremonial Chemistry).

The Wikipedia page on moral panics has a lot of good links.
