      Communism is a word with different legitimate meanings and it sound like this comment is conflating two of them.

      • The communist movement, guided by the various theories within Marxist schools of thought. [as you can see, there’s a huge range of ideologies in this school of thought, and a few different ones have become ruling governments, and any claiming to be the one true ‘real communism’ are being arrogant and ignorant]

      • Communist society, a society with a socialist mode of production replacing the capitalist mode of production, which those theories are trying to achieve. This has not been accomplished by a post-industrial society.

      Because it’s a dream that would suffer the same fate that capitalism does.

          Do you feel like this has been a meaningful addition to anything? Are you capable of discussing without attacking your opponents?

            1. Thats an excellent question. Do you apply it sometime? 2. Do you think youre somehow entitled to spew nonsense and not be called out for it?
