    Communism is a conservative authoritarian dogma. The exact opossite of progress… or anarchy.

      Wrong.

      To play Devil’s Advocate, communism looks good on paper. The problem is human beings are involved. There will always be narcissistic, greedy, and psychopathic individuals who will abuse the will of the people to take control. There has never been a truly successful communistic system of government. Well, maybe Jeebus and the Apostles, but even Judas sold out for the silver.

        “In Marxist philosophy, the dictatorship of the proletariat is a condition in which the proletariat, or working class, holds control over state power. The dictatorship of the proletariat is the transitional phase from a capitalist and a communist economy…”

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat

        Except, there’s no such thing as a communist economy, so the transitional phase lasts as long as there’s capital to reallocate. Then peoole start to flee across the barbed wire and the facade falls down.

      You’re thinking of ML tankies.

      Communism is a stateless, classless, system where people enact mutualism and socialism without state coercion.

        What makes this thing you’re describing, not anarchism?

        I think you’re thinking of anarchocommunism specifically. Which is “not all communism”™.

        State-based communism is a thing, that many people usually called tankies by others, do believe in.
