    That’s fine if you think that, but it’s not really communism, as defined by Marx.

    That’s the point, they are not communist states, just people misusing the name communism

        Well in the full extend you could read das Kapital, or an abridged version of it.

        But the remedy that he seeks is an international uprising against the possessive class and the dissolution of the power of capital. Unfortunately every ‘communist’ state is just an autocratic state role-playing communism. Sometimes with their own monarchy (north Korea) some more oppressive, some outright capitalist (China).

          You realize that it’s called Marxism-Leninism correct? Because Lenin and by extension other writers expanded on this topic to clown on “communism purists” like you.

            That’s what it’s called because Stalin enthusiasts somehow dislike the term stalinism, which it is. Marx has nothing to do with it.

              You know, I was going to make a long detailed post about how that’s wrong, but I just can’t.

              It’s so hilariously wrong and asinine that it’s comical. You have never before opened a book in your life, or hell, even bothered to Google anything about what you just said.

              Please, you do realize when you say things like this without having a clue what you’re talking about, that you look like an absolute moron, correct?

            For one all ‘communist’ fiefdoms around the world could unite, instead of ruling their own pseudo monarchies. Not a single one of them would set aside their power in favor of a true revolution.
