Every single one that isn’t more interested in installing a new bourgeoisie (so themselves) than giving power to the people. And most ironically, Marxism, since old beardo’s ideas have been practically more perverted by his own partisans than by his opposition…
Okay, what’s one of them, though? Can you point to a country that currently has this going on? I’m not trying to do a gotcha here, I’m genuinely curious.
Which is what you describe, is once again based on Marxism-Leninism (some would want to shove a little dong after another hyphen, but it still remains the same shit regardless), and can go rot in hell.
The core problem with communism is humanity itself, it goes directly against the human nature. There is a 0% possibility of it working with humans.
The theory may sound appealing, but in the end its less sustainable than any other political system. One will always take advantage of the obvious flaws in the system.
I couldn’t disagree more, I see human nature as something more nurtured than innate, and traces of healed wounds on bones found on archaeological sites rather demonstrate that caring for the weak, the community, prevailed over selfishness. Let’s pretend it is as you say: even then, our nature isn’t something immutable, else, males would still drag their female to the cave by the hair whenever they want to mate, and it would be seen as socially acceptable. This can change through time and conscious efforts (even negatively, and it won’t surprise you if I say that it’s how I see our current individualism and glorification of power-mongering).
Personally, I don’t see a forceful change as viable; it should be done slowly and steadily while ensuring that outside forces don’t hinder the movement, or distort it to their own benefit. But first, we should throw away this warped crap that is Marxism-Leninism once and for all, draw the useful conclusions from its failures, and adapt the movement accordingly; evolving is after all supposed to be one of communism’s core components (just like humans, dare I say).
I don’t question your good faith (in regard to your other comment). But I can’t point you to such a country, because unfortunately, all we’ve seen of communism at such a scale until now has been based on this Marxism-Leninism pile of crap (Stalinism, Maoism, and whatnot). That’s the unfortunate truth, and why the simple mention of communism makes people’s blood run cold. It’s a meme at this point to say “real communism hasn’t been attempted” but there’s a part of truth in that; only a specific current has been, and each time proved that said current is a pungent pile.
Since communism is a dialectic philosophy, we could think that ML would’ve been thrown to its rightful place, the trash bin, but alas, some people are too attached to following a dated and distorted dogma to actually respect the ever evolving imperative of the movement.
Yes, I know. I’m not a fan of that myself.
But the idea that current day Russia has it better is insane. The Propaganda has survived through 30 years of non existence
There is a difference between Russia, communism and an authoritarian/totalitarian regime.
Communism is not necessarily authoritarian or totalitarian.
It always leads to absolute authoritarian hellholes. It never not has done that.
Marxism-Leninism does, and invariably so. It’s not however the only existing current of communism.
What’s an existing current for. Of communism that hasn’t gone Auth or totalit?

“Parents should never talk to their kids” ~ Marx
Care to point me to the source of this alleged quote?
Sure, might take a while tho, I used that in my Bachelor work
None but the clown company doesn’t catch that or thinks China isn’t a authoritarian hellhole.

Okay, so this is a case of communism not going the way you claim it is currently going in other places. So can you please name one of those places?
