A sovereign Communist government is like a group of friends who all agree to run a big playground, and they make most of the rules together, but if things don’t go their way in an election, they can say "okay, we lost, let’s try something new."
What does it mean to "run" on a fair election?
Imagine you're playing tag with your friends at the park. You all vote on who will be it first, that's like an election. A sovereign government is like being the boss of the game, but they have to follow the rules everyone agrees on.
What does it mean to "concede loss"?
If your friend wins the vote and becomes it, you can say, "Okay, I lost, let's play!" That’s what conceding loss means. It shows good sportsmanship, like when you admit you're not the best at a game but still want to keep playing.
So, yes, there has been a time when a group of friends who all agreed on how the playground should work (a Communist government) ran for more votes in an election, and when they lost, they said "Okay, we lost", just like you would at tag. That's real life, not magic!
